Jennifer Garner is being praised for a moving act of kindness in Santa Monica. While in a parking lot, the actress noticed a homeless man in a wheelchair who had no shoes. Instead of ignoring him, she rolled down her window, spoke to him kindly, and handed him a bag of essential supplies. Seeing he was barefoot, Garner got out of her car, knelt beside him, and gently put socks on his feet. She even tried to give him her own shoes, but they didn’t fit.

Wanting to do more, she turned to a nearby paparazzo and asked if he could help. Without hesitation, the photographer gave the man his own shoes—and refused to take any money for them.

Garner’s simple but powerful gesture reminded many why she’s known not just for her acting, but for her heart. She’s long been involved in humanitarian work, including her partnership with Save the Children, and has often spoken about how her modest upbringing inspired her to give back.

This moment of compassion was a genuine, human response that touched many who saw it—both in person and online.
