Ben Affleck returned to his native Massachusetts on the weekend to help feed the poor and hungry. Affleck volunteered at the Greater Boston Food Bank in Boston on Sunday as part of the America's Second Harvest campaign, before joining fellow workers to sort food in the warehouse.

The Pearl Harbor star said he became aware of the less fortunate residents of Boston while filming his full-length directional debut Gone Baby Gone in the north eastern city.

He says, "We did a lot of location scouting . . . and you knock on a lot of doors and you go into a lot of homes . . . and I saw the need. What I saw sort of surprised me. I saw a lot of working poor."
