Across 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. That's why Save the Children came up with Save With Stories.

Save the Children and No Kid Hungry partnered to have celebrities read children's books on Instagram and Facebook, providing fun and education to kids and parents stuck at home.

Celebrity guests include Chris Evans, Kelly Clarkson, Ellen Degeneres, Demi Lovato, Hilary Duff, Jimmy Fallon, and many more!

Click here to donate to the cause. Your donation will help Save the Children and No Kid Hungry make sure schools and community programs have the support they need to keep brains and bellies full. You're also supporting our important work to meet the health, education and nutrition needs of kids in other countries impacted by coronavirus.
