Angelina Jolie is calling on Congress to increase food assistance to families across the United States in the next coronavirus stimulus bill.
The Academy Award-winning actress and humanitarian is advocating on behalf of the millions of families across the country who rely on things like free meals for their kids at schools that are no longer available as people lose work and classrooms remain empty due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer shared with USA Today, the 44-year-old celebrity asks for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to have its benefits increased for parents in an effort to ensure that fewer kids go to bed hungry due to the unprecedented pandemic.

When schools started feeding them breakfast, lunch and summer meals. Look, they simply cannot afford to feed the kids and get their nails done..something has to give. And THAT is the taxpayer, FRiend.
She is indeed hot. There’s a reason Tomb Raider was his favorite computer game. :)
In the old days, people were asked to give for a cause.
Today, the government takes the money from the people and stars petition the government to spend the people’s money on their pet cause.
Why is she begging the same human garbage who are causing the hunger.
My models say half a billion on the low side and up to three billion on the high end.
Why should they when the government is there?
After all, there are lottery tickets to buy, cases of beer to buy, injectable hard drugs to buy, after having cashed in their government checks for money. That assistance was meant to buy their children some food, but that is of no consequence. There’s always Grandma.
Seriously, I once saw a woman who was old enough to have children, cash everything in government assistance and buy a folder full of scratch tickets, a carton of cigarettes and a case of beer.
jolie isnwhy repeal the 19th
for cripes sake
Once when I lived in Chicago, there was a beggar who always asked me for money for “food.”
I finally stopped in the McDonald’s that was right there and bought him a supersized everything. “Here you go,” I said.
I knew he was going to spend it on drugs or alcohol.
It is because poor children eat at McDonald’s. Full of fat, salt and God only knows what.
When is she going to plead for money to close abortion clinics, which kill (murder) more than 3,000 babies a day?
Pitt and Aniston made a great couple, IMO. Would’ve created some fine-ass kids.
Well, she could feed a million for a good two weeks, eh? The larger point of this whole mess is: we are now starving children to save the morbidly obese and the geriatric. Bizarre.
I never knew that hunger makes poor people obese.
I’m old enough to remember when poor people were skinny.
It's the high carb foods that are cheapest. High carbs and low nutrition is a recipe for obesity.
Actual Starvation will make you skinny. But if you're poor and trying to make your dollar stretch so you don't go hungry, then you're probably headed for obesity.
You think they’re starving now... Wait a year or two... There will be plenty more starving to death... This failed lock down response to a this virus is going to make the dirty 30s look like the roaring 20s.
When she gives away at least 99 MILLION bucks to buy food for poor kids, THEN I’ll listen to her whining/ranting. = I’ll NEVER have $$$$$ & the SELF-RIGHTEOUS Holly-WEIRD crowd makes me GAG.

Is that why I see their grocery carts piled up with the best cuts of meat that I can’t afford? And paying it off with their EBT cards.
Is that also why many of them are obese AND having the most difficulty with this damn virus!!
No, that’s been going on for decades.
NO!! OPEN UP THE DAMN COUNTRY!!! WYF are SCHOOLS CLOSED??
