Jennifer Garner Brings Save the Children to CBS

Jennifer Garner is all smiles as she makes an appearance on CBS’ Early Show on Friday (April 30) in New York City.

The 38-year-old actress stopped by to speak about Save the Children – she serves as the artist ambassador for the organization!

“Kids in poverty, by the time they’re four years old, they are 18 months behind, developmentally, where your children will be. And that is just — how do you ever come back from that? It’s so unfair,” Jen said (via CBS). “Ninety percent of your brain growth happens by the time you’re six. So, Save the Children gets in there early, gets in there strong. We are a literacy program, but we also teach kids just fundamentally how to make healthy choices.”

FYI: Jen is teaming up with Frigidaire and Save the Children to promote smart snacking and healthy lifestyles for kids – check out more details at MakeTimeForChange.com!
