Jennifer Garner Falls Over in Group Hug with Kids During Mississippi Academy Visit amid Giving Tuesday
Jennifer Garner, actively engaged with Save the Children since 2014, took to social media to highlight Giving Tuesday, emphasizing the importance of supporting children in need. In a heartwarming video, the 13 Going on 30 star is seen interacting with kids at the Early Learning Academy in Quitman County, Mississippi. The candid moment, where Garner loses her balance amidst laughter, adds a touch of genuine joy to the cause.
Encouraging her followers to contribute to Save the Children’s mission, Garner expressed pride in the organization’s support for unique early childhood programs in rural America. During her visit to the academy, she commended the educators as “mission-driven brain architects” and underscored the positive impact of Save the Children on such initiatives.
In a joint Instagram post with the non-profit, Garner urged followers to consider donating to Save the Children, emphasizing its commitment to providing children with “a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm.”
Garner’s dedication extends beyond social media, with 30% of proceeds from her nutritional products’ online sales pledged to Save the Children. She also collaborated with NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden to shed light on the accessibility of fresh food in the U.S. during a segment on Today. Garner, a board member and ambassador for Save the Children for 15 years, distributed activity packets, read to young students, and stressed the importance of not overlooking rural America.
Addressing literacy programs, Garner highlighted the positive impact of teachers and the superintendent, emphasizing the need to celebrate their contributions. In an interview with Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, she acknowledged the significance of bilingual books for children in areas where English is a second language.
Garner’s commitment to philanthropy goes beyond advocacy, as evidenced by her partnership with Save the Children for the limited-edition blend, Farmer Jen’s Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie. The proceeds from each purchase contribute to the charity, reflecting Garner’s personal connection to the cause and her dedication to making a positive impact.
