Those groups also benefit from one of the millions of dollars in donations to help fight poverty.

“We are honored and privileged to be able to continue our support of Feeding America and Food Banks Canada,” the couple said in a joint statement. “We know the struggles so many of our neighbors faced last year are not over, and we are grateful for the opportunity to help facilitate the important work of food banks across the US and Canada to be able to provide nourishing meals to people in need.”

In a statement posted on social media, Feeding America thanked the actors for “being our dream team to fight hunger.”

“Your second $ 500k gift will make a huge difference to people around the world,” wrote the organization.
