Marvel star Chris Evans continues to prove that he’s a real-life Captain America– and possibly a future presidential candidate? Evans’ latest act of real-life heroism is getting on social media to read children’s books to kids. With millions of children all over the globe now forced to stay at home from school, due to the novel Coronavirus Pandemic, they also miss out on critical services. It’s not just the educational resources children are missing – it’s also resources like childcare and food, which some kids only get from school. Chris Evans is just one of many celebrities trying to raise awareness about the deeper impact of school closures – and he’s doing a pretty good job of it!

THIRTY MILLION CHILDREN rely on school for food. Responding to the needs of kids during these school closures, @savethechildren and @nokidhungry have a new fund @SAVEWITHSTORIES to support food banks, and mobile meal trucks, and community feeding programs with funds to do what they do best—and also—with educational toys, books, and worksheets to make sure brains are full, as well as bellies.
