Food insecurity is a difficult issue for parents and children to discuss, and Growing Hope Against Hunger sought to present personal stories about food insecure families that would help raise awareness about hunger as well strategies that have helped these families grow stronger and more secure. Congratulations to Executive Producer Carol-Lynn Parente, Supervising Producer Melissa Dino, Senior Producer Mason Rather and Producer Kevin Clash.

I was recently watching “Growing Hope Against Hunger,” a new TV special about childhood hunger in America, and I was really shocked to learn that lots of kids just like me don’t have enough food to eat. So Murray from Sesame Street and I teamed up to raise awareness about childhood hunger by hosting a screening of the TV special at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Giving back is very big for me. I’ve always said that, if I had the opportunity to use my celebrity to help change the world, I would do just that. Now that I’m on an Emmy-award winning show, ABC’s Modern Family, it’s great to have the opportunity to help make a difference in other kids lives. Check out this video Murray and I made to help explain what a Food Bank is and all the ways you can volunteer to make American kids healthier and happier!

I am honored and so proud to be a part of this amazing project. To learn more about all the great work Sesame Street and I are doing to fight childhood hunger and to watch the “Growing Hope Against Hunger” special, click here.
