The nonprofit Feeding America has collaborated with the Ad Council for a new public service announcement (PSA) designed to raise awareness about hunger across the country.
The PSA features actress Scarlett Johansson, a Feeding America Entertainment Council member, who volunteered her time and talent for this endeavor. The PSA is released following data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that found 44 million people lived in food insecure households in 2022. The PSAs encourage audiences to visit www.feedingamerica.org/actnow where they can join the movement to end hunger.
“Each person facing hunger has a unique story with an important perspective on what they need to thrive. Futures can be nourished when we center people with lived or living experience in the solutions to fight hunger,” said Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO for Feeding America. “We are thankful Scarlett Johansson is using her voice and experiences to share the possibilities that come from when people are fed. The movement to end hunger is underway in the United States, and if we all work together to center our neighbors who have experienced food insecurity, we can ensure that no one goes hungry in America.”
