On Thursday (March 19), the actress announced she will be donating a massive 3 million diapers and tens of thousands of other baby supplies to households with young children who are struggling to cope with the pandemic. The 38-year-old made the pledge with a sweet selfie alongside her 2-year-old son, Hayes, resting in her lap with his bottle.

“Snuggling with my littles feeling grateful and emotional as we’ve been adjusting to this new normal -I can’t help but think of all the families with babies & young children who aren’t getting what they need to get by,” Alba captioned the picture on Instagram. “My company @honest pledged today to donate 3M diapers 20k personal care products and 30k wipes to @baby2baby -but the need for these families includes so much more... #staysafe #practicekindness #sendinglove to you all.”

Alba’s charity of choice, Baby2Baby, provides impoverished children, ages 0-12 years, with diapers, clothing and basic necessities. Since the coronavirus outbreak, the organization has been providing diapers, wipes, formula, blankets, hygiene items, and other essentials to children and families affected by COVID-19.
