Thatâs right, you can have Captain America read your little ones a bedtime story.
Chris Evans is the latest star to join forces with Jennifer Garner and Amy Adamsâ charity Save With Stories, a movement in partnership with Save the Children and No Kid Hungry that offers stories on Instagram and Facebook to provide a fun, educational reading to kids and parents stuck at home amid the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. Whatâs more, all donations go toward ensuring schools and community programs have the support they need to âkeep brains and bellies full.â
In supporting the cause, the Avengers actor took to his Facebook account for a special bedtime reading of If You Give a Dog a Donut by Laura Numeroff â and itâs honestly the sweetest thing.
Evans isnât the only celebrity to put their backing behind Save With Stories â Lupita Nyongâo, Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ellen DeGeneres have all pitched in to raise funds and awareness for kids impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
âAcross the country, schools are shutting down due to the coronavirus pandemic. But millions of children in the U.S. go to school not just to learn, but also for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner,â reads a statement from Garner and Adams. âThat's why we came up with @savewithstories. ⊠Youâre also supporting our important work to meet the health, education and nutrition needs of kids in other countries impacted by coronavirus.â
Globally, there are over a million confirmed cases of coronavirus and 61,188 deaths related to the novel virus. As of Saturday (April 4), the United States accounts for over 278,900 of those cases and at least 7,445 deaths.
