Jennifer Garneris sharing a simple way to give back to those in need.
On Wednesday, the 49-year-old actress posted a video on Instagram detailing an easy way to use Ziploc bags. In the clip, Garner filled zip-up plastic bags with everyday items like socks, tissues, and toothbrushes before handing them out to people experiencing homelessness.
“A pair of thick socks. Kleenex. Hand wipes. Disposable toothbrushes. Chapstick. A couple of granola bars. I forgot this time, but like to add feminine hygiene products, too. Add $5, $10, $20 and a smile ♥️,” she added.
Garner is often paying it forward with kind gestures.
Earlier this month, in a video shared on her Instagram Story, the actress purchased coffee for customers at Starbucks and tipped employees.
“May I please have a mint tea grande?” Garner asked a barista before giving the employee money to cover the customers behind her in line. “If I give you this to pay for the people behind me, and then this for you guys. So, that’s for you guys. This is just to pay for whomever is behind me. Thank you and pass it on.”
Alongside the video, Garner emphasized the importance of good deeds, writing: “Coffee is always a worthwhile little act of kindness.”
