Kristen Bell’s Kids Use Money From Their Piggy Banks To Fight Coronavirus Pandemic

Some celebrities are not only using their clout to spread the word about coronavirus information and prevention, but are also donating some of their money to help the cause. Kristen Bell has donated a sizable amount of money towards charity – and her kids chipped in with the money saved in their piggy bank.

On March 18, Bell, known for her work in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and voicing Princess Anna in the Frozen franchise, posted on her Instagram page.

The post contained two pictures. The first was a re-posted picture from No Kid Hungry, a charity which aims to make sure no child goes hungry in the United States. “We’re BEYOND grateful to our friend and #HungerHero @kristenanniebell for her gift of $150,007.96! Thank you for helping us send out even more grants to schools and community groups working to feed kids during the #COVID19 outbreak,” wrote No Hungry Kids on its Instagram post, which was copied into the caption on Bell’s post.

The second photo on Bell’s post showed her daughter’s hands on top of some crumbled dollar bills and some spare change. In the caption, Bell promoted No Hungry Kids. “NKH has always been there for kids who need them. They work tirelessly to provide food for the hungry bellys all over this country,” wrote Bell. “I encourage anyone with the means to share to donate as well, any amount helps, so we can get through this together,” she continued. The actress also explained why her donation – $150,007.96 – was the amount that it was. “The reason the number is odd, is because when my kids overheard me making the donation, they asked if they could also donate the money from their piggy bank. I couldnt have been prouder to add that extra, and important 7 dollars and 96 cents.😍😍😍,” wrote Bell
