Young actress believes in helping feed the hungry

Morgan Montgomery

Of the changes Morgan Montgomery would like to see, she believes awareness of world concerns should be raised.

“We’ve been learning about children in Africa,” she said. “We learned that most of them really need to be fed. I think it is something we Americans need to be aware of. I think we should raise money to help get food and clothing and basically the supplies that they need right now. They do have organizations, but I really think that we need more of those.”
