Drew Barrymore’s Million Dollar Donation
Ambassador Against Hunger Drew Barrymore is donating $1 million to the World Food Programme to help feed children in Africa.
The 33-year-old actress made the big announcement on Monday’s Oprah Winfrey Show. So far, Drew has taken two trips to Kenya to see the WFP’s work first hand.
“I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child’s life,” Drew said. “It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future. I urge everyone — everywhere — to help WFP ‘Fill the Cup’ for hungry children, and make hunger history.”
WFP has a dream: to feed 10 million more hungry school children in Africa by Thanksgiving Day. Join Drew in helping feed millions of people at WFP.org.

thats sweet
u changed everything its bold
2!!
That’s a good girl right there. Putting her money where her mouth is. So many of her fellow celebs and the like have such vast fortunes and I bet most of them could very easily do the same as her. I want to see them all follow her lead.
OMG! SHE IS TRULY A ROLE MODEL U WOULD WANT 2 LOOK UP 2!!! U GO DREW! I HOPE THEY REACH THE GOAL!!!!!!
Love Drew. God Bless her for doing this!
wow!! thats so great that shes doing that!! i love drew!
Drew Barrymore is an amazing person and has a big heart. I wish there were more people like her in Hollywood. She is the kind of person that people should look up to, a very good role model. Plus she’s so cute and adorable together with Justin Long!
Thats great. I wish more of these celebs would follow suit and do some good especially these young girls, instead of flashing their crotch and breast and blowing their money on booze and drugs.
Bravo Drew! My my what a long long way you’ve come, bravo!
Awww Drew so sweet.more people should be like her.
GOOD FOR DREW!!!
She’s just doing it for publicity!
Even so, at least she put her own money where her mouth is…
omg that’s well sweet loving her!!
That’s great from her to do this, other celebs should do the same rather than spend millions in car and other ******* useless things…
Awesome!
She’s should be more like Jennifer Aniston and do it quietly. I wonder what scandal Drew is trying to cover up?
And man, this world is full of cynical people. Not everyone does things for publicity. Some feel they’re blessed and want to give back. Drew went through a lot and I think she’s learned a lot too. And **** it, whatever, if anyone does it for publicity, do you really care if an actress gets more exposure because a million kids got FED? Cause if you do, I say you’re the *******.
YEAH!! Now get the rest of the material hungry rich to do the same
goree girl; Do you even bother to read the article? Can you even read…? It’s clearly that WFP is campaigning and Drew draws awareness to the cause!
Wow! That’s fantastic of her. Good job. I’ve always been a fan, and now that she’s dating Justin, one of the cutest guys ever (in my opinion) and she’s getting into philanthropy- good for her!

How about a cool million to causes here at home, like New Orleans? Always so much more glamorous to go elsewhere. God bless Brad Pitt.
Nice gesture and that is like 30 bucks to me. Of course, Drew HAS to go on Oprah to brag about it.
Rosie gave away 50 million dollars of her money from TROS. It was written into her contract. She never talks about it.

=======================
Who are you kidding? Your Aniston doesn’t give s**t. Charity is not her thing according to your idol. She spends her milions to tanning, spa, plastic surgery and spreading her legs showing her half of her cooch to the world to see, so STFU. Go Drew!!!

thats cool.
I have always loved Drew and now even more so. She is one of the most generous, compassionate and loving people on the planet.
guess the starving children in the U.S are too good for her donations eh? We are a country that has a welfare problems and people living below their means “according to the government who steals from those that do to give to those that don’t” and she’s giving to other countries? Let her MOVE TO THE OTHER COUNTRY.
You know theres a real funny thing about all these celebrities and their giving money oveseas. The largest fact about all of this is, a country survives largely on the tax base it has. Africa and other countries stuck in the poverty cycle aren’t ran like the united states is, money collected doesn’t go back to the people. You can give money all you want to these people, it’s unfortunate that they are in this position, but when you chose to have children, be a parent, don’t rely on other countries to support you and your kids, people in the united states hold off having children until they can afford it, if you can’t afford to provide a life for your children don’t have any, that goes for africa too. End welfare, end the tax breaks these celebrities get for these “donations” They don’t deserve a tax break when the money is leaving the country, that’s why they do it, for tax breaks and for publicity, until this when was this girl in the news for anything.
i agree with eddie. instead of sending them money send them birth control or better yet FIX THEM ALL LIKE THEY DO WITH CATS AND DOGS! seriously sending them food is like trying to fill a bucket that has a huge hole in it cause they keep popping out more babies more mouths to feed! IT WILL NEVER FILL. end world hunger??? STOP FOOLING YOURSELVES! fix those b*tches its the only way FIX ALL OF THEM!!! THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS HAVING KIDS!!!
PROPS TO HER!!
