Sometimes it’s possible for celebrities and the paparazzi to work together — especially if it happens to be for a good cause. And over the weekend, Jennifer Garner happened to enlist a paparazzo’s help to do a good deed for someone in need. Photographers captured Jen in a parking lot at Santa Monica Beach, California, while talking to a homeless man in a wheelchair as she offered a him a bag of essential items she seemed to have at the ready in her car … but she didn’t stop there.
Jennifer immediately tried to assist the man.

When she stopped to talk to the man, Jennifer realized that the man had no shoes or socks on his feet. Concerned, she got out of her car to offer him some help. She wasted no time getting down to his level and putting socks on his feet for him.
She ended up taking things a step further.
For some people, just stopping to offer some essentials might have been enough, but not for Jennifer. She took it a step further and offered the man the shoes off of her own feet, but they were too small for him.
That’s when she got creative.
She enlisted the help of nearby paparazzi.

She noticed the pap who had been taking pictures of her and made her way towards him.
“What size feet do you have?” she asked. “Can I buy your shoes for him? He needs a shoe.”
The paparazzo jumped in to help.

When the photographer asked what size shoe she needed, she told him she was in need of a 10 ½, and luckily, the photographer happened to be an 11.
“Want me to give it to him? I can give it to him," the paparazzo said happily, telling Jennifer that she didn’t need to pay him for the shoes. He also remembered that he had a blanket in his car and offered it to the man while Jennifer put the shoes on his feet.
Doing good deeds has always been important to Jennifer.

To celebrate her 50th birthday in 2022, Jennifer hosted a food drive at her home instead of a typical birthday party. TMZ reported that she turned her home into a food drop-off site, and that her boyfriend John Miller, oldest daughter Violet, and actor pal Adam Scott were all on hand for the festivities.
