Viola Davis, star of TV series How to Get Away with Murder, has extended her role as ambassador of The Safeway Foundation and the Entertainment Industry Foundation's charitable programme, Hunger Is.

The initiative aims to fight against childhood hunger in the US, and Davis commented 'After an incredibly successful inaugural year with Hunger Is, I am grateful to keep the momentum in finding a solution to a problem that is too often forgotten. We have the opportunity to change so many young lives for the better and I look forward to the day when this is no longer an issue in our country'.
