"We can really end childhood hunger here in our country."
Jeff Bridges is an Academy Award-winning actor, a musician, a photographer, and a philanthropist. As an anti-hunger activist and advocate for children for more than 30 years, Jeff has been on the forefront of efforts to speak up for the most vulnerable members of our society - bringing a much-needed spotlight to the issue of childhood hunger in America as the national spokesperson for the No Kid Hungry since 2010.
Jeff leads the charge on speaking up for America's children where they do not have a voice, like in the halls of Congress, media interviews after visiting free summer meals sites and classrooms and avenues where he connects with people through music and art.
