Vegan Natalie Portman Joins Initiative To Help Kids During COVID-19 Crisis
Award-winning actor and vegan Natalie Portman has joined #SAVEWITHSTORIES, an initiative aimed at helping children make up for lost classroom time during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initiative aims to create stories on social media to provide “a little fun, a little education, and a little distraction for kids and parents,” according to its webpage.
Not only will it provide educational content and entertainment to children in the US and other countries, but it will provide food to children who rely on school for meals.
On March 18, Natalie Portman recorded a video for #SAVEWITHSTORIES on Instagram in which she encouraged viewers to support the initiative and read a story called Is Your Mama a Llama? by Deborah Guarino.
Other celebrities who have joined the initiative include Jimmy Fallon and Jenna Ortega.

“Millions of children in the United States go to school not only for learning but also for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner,” it reads.
