Hunger is not political discourse to Jeff Bridges.

When the actor discusses food security in Montana or federal nutrition programs, he evaluates them as societal or communal problems as opposed to explicitly political ones.

"I don’t believe that something such as hunger can be a political thing," said Bridges, who in 1983, founded the End Hunger Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to feeding children around the world.

Bridges and his band the Abiders perform at the Wilma Theatre on Tuesday, March 15, as a fundraiser for the re-election of Democratic Governor Steve Bullock.
