Jennifer Garner Extends Her Support To Children And Families Affected By L.A. Wildfires

Jennifer Garner is stepping up to help families and children affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Teaming up with the organization Save the Children, the actress is volunteering her time to assist in disaster relief efforts.

In an interview with NBC, Garner shared her personal connection to the cause, especially after seeing the tragedy unfold so close to home. She’s partnering with Project Camp to bring immediate relief to those in need, focusing particularly on supporting children who are suffering from the crisis.

Garner explained that Save the Children has been working in shelters across the country for years, providing essential care and relief during disasters. Now, she finds herself witnessing the impact of the fires in her own community. “It’s crazy that it’s in my own backyard now,” she said, reflecting on the situation.

She highlighted how the organizations are helping kids cope with the trauma, emphasizing the importance of play as a form of therapy. “Therapy for them is play,” Garner said, explaining that setting up play areas for children in the shelters helps provide a sense of comfort during a time of great uncertainty.

Garner also pointed out the crucial work of giving children a moment of joy and normalcy, even if just for a little while, so that parents can focus on the difficult tasks of finding new homes and schools. “Everyone is just trying to give children a little bit of joy and normalcy,” she said.

In addition to her public support, Garner also opened her home to her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, after his neighborhood was declared unsafe due to the wildfires. She continues to show her commitment to supporting those in need during this challenging time.
