Eva Longoria comforts volunteers as she helps clean up debris amid LA fires after donating $1million in relief

Eva Longoria turned her words into action as she was seen volunteering in the midst of the devastating LA fires, just days after pledging $1 million in relief efforts.

The Desperate Housewives star, 49, who had to evacuate her own home in Southern California, joined forces with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, This Is About Humanity, and other volunteers to support the ravaged city on Wednesday.

Dressed in all-black work attire, gloves, and an LA baseball cap, Eva was seen preparing essential supply boxes and ᴀssisting laborers with cleanup efforts.

The director and producer didn’t hesitate to roll up her sleeves, pitching in to help clear fallen trees from the street.

Later, she embraced fellow volunteers with big hugs.

Her hands-on support comes after she pledged to support the Latino Community Foundation and the California Community Foundation with her generous $1 million donation.

The organizations have pledged to ᴀssist in the immediate and long-term recuperation of the communities impacted by the weeklong wildfires that have ravaged the city.

Tens of thousands of residents have been forced to vacate their homes since the infernos sparked last Tuesday.

The death toll is currently at 25, and more than 40,000 acres have been scorched by the unprecedented flames.

Longoria’s new $1 million donation is from the Courage and Civility Award presented to her by Jeff Bezos last March.

Bezos’ annual monetary prize of $50 million is given to those who make substantial contributions to society.

Longoria has a decade to name a charity to which she’ll donate the money, and now she’s chosen LA’s fire recovery as the first recipient, per The Hollywood Reporter.

She will say more about her donation when she appears as co-host alongside Jenna Bush Hager on Jenna & Friends this Tuesday.

Following the co-hosting gig Eva will return to Los Angeles, where she will volunteer with Global Empowerment Mission and pay a visit to World Central Kitchen’s Eaton Fire operations.
