Her Drive to Make a Difference

Jennifer helps people in a multitude of ways, not just through having guests on her show. She recently partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery to support the No Kid Hungry Initiative and raise money for over 200,000 meals to give to children in need. Her website is currently accepting donations for the initiative.

She’s helped lots of other charities, too, including those fighting AIDS and human trafficking.

“Any time you’re helping someone is very important and, of course, when children are involved,” she said. “I feel like your celebrity is not about the fortune or the fame. But if you can’t help anyone, then it’s in vain, it’s pointless.”

She created the Julian D. King Gift Foundation to help children in poverty. Julian was her nephew, who was murdered in a case of domestic violence. The foundation provides children all over the Chicago area with free school supplies because Julian loved school.

It’s wonderful that a celebrity like Jennifer does so much to help those in need. She has a pure hear,t and she clearly wants to share what she has. She has such a deep love for others that is unique to her. Hopefully, her actions are inspiring others to be generous, too.
