Jennifer Garner is helping her community in Los Angeles amid the devastating California wildfires that have displaced many families and affected many residents. First responders continue to work tirelessly to minimize the damage, with over 3,956 acres and multiple structures and historic buildings being damaged in Altadena and Pasadena.

The Hollywood star decided to stay in Los Angeles and help, joining forces with a relief team to help feed firefighters who are still battling to control the fires. Jennifer was photographed accompanied by chef Jose Andres, founder of the World Central Kitchen, which helps communities in crises.
