Just weeks after throwing a bunch of surprise, virtual baby showers for expecting parents working on the front lines of COVID-19...

**...Jessica Alba** is finding more ways to give back.

This time she's helping children living in poverty.

The actress, entrepreneur and mother of three has announced her ethical goods companies **Honest** and **Honest Beauty** have teamed up with non-profit [**Baby2Baby,**](http://baby2baby.org/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io)to provide kids in Los Angeles with the essentials they need as they head back to school.

Together, they're supporting 50 children by donating backpacks full of pencils, markers, activity books, a reusable water bottle, headphones plus a number of items from **Honest.**

In a statement on social media, **Jessica** explains how the collaboration has given her the opportunity "to make a direct impact on the lives of children living in poverty by providing them with their most needed items to ensure a successful start to the school year."

According to [a 2017 study](https://www.ppic.org/publication/geography-of-child-poverty-in-california/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) by the Public Policy Institute of California, 1 in 4 young children in the state live in poverty and the figure rises to almost 1 in 3 in Los Angeles County, with Latino children and children with immigrant, young or single parents the most likely to be struggling.

"Giving back has always been part of our DNA," **Jessica** says, referring to her business mission.

"Now more than ever it's especially important to remember to help those in need ❤️."
