Jennifer Lopez donated a large amount of clothes and accessories from her own closet to fire victims in Los Angeles. A source speaking to DailyMail.com revealed that the 55-year-old star "packed the clothes she took out from her own closet and a large storage unit into boxes and loaded them onto a truck." "The donated items are very valuable and in large quantities. There are everyday clothes like hoodies and jeans available for people to get back on their feet. There are sneakers, sweaters, and jackets that are ideal for winter. Since Jennifer has been collecting clothes for 30 years, she had a lot to choose from," the source stated. It was reported that the donations began last week and are continuing this week. The star of the film Atlas also donated many packages of JLO beauty products, which include cleansers and moisturizers. The clothes will be distributed to students, teachers, and families in schools in Los Angeles and Pasadena. At least 24 people lost their lives in the fires that occurred in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The donation, the monetary value of which has not been disclosed, was made to The A-List, which organized a "public" fundraising campaign for people who lost their homes and have nothing left. Shoe company Steve Madden was also among those who sent help. Lopez, who made a post on Instagram last week, directed people to the Boys and Girls Club. The club provides "safe spaces and support" for children and families during disasters. Having attended this club in her youth and being its spokesperson in 2010, Lopez said, "My heart is with everyone affected by the Los Angeles fires. I can't even imagine how traumatic these events can be, especially for children who have lost their homes and sense of security." Lopez also canceled promotional events for the film "Unstoppable," which will be released on Amazon Prime next week. In the film, which is a biography of one-legged wrestling champion Anthony Robles, Lopez plays the champion's mother, Judy. The gala at Hollywood's famous TCL Chinese Theatre was also canceled due to the fires. Lopez is reported to be "worried and anxious" after learning that her ex-husband Ben Affleck and their children Violet (19), Fin (16), and Samuel (12) were among those evacuated, and she is checking on their situation.
