Haddish remembered struggling to afford groceries as she helped victims of the wildfires purchase food.
Tiffany Haddish got emotional recalling her experience with homelessness while helping victims of the California wildfires.
Haddish appeared at the event as hundreds poured into the store to grab the necessary items. She started to get choked up remembering her own experience trying to buy food.
While Haddish has found fame and success in Hollywood, she has not forgotten her life before this point.
“I know how hard it is to feed a family, the stress of it, and the cost for food today is ridiculous,” she added. “It makes me so mad. I’m a human being, and I need to eat too, and I like to buy my own food, and I’ll pay for everybody in line behind me.”
“I called every rich friend to help me,” she told KTLA.
Haddish continues to give back to people whose situations she deeply empathizes with. As the aftermath of the fires wages on, she accomplished her goal to feed some families and serve up love during her grocery giveaway.
“Just wanted to bring some joy, heal some bellies. You know, I was like, fill up some refrigerators. I’m so excited and so happy and so honored that God gave me the ability to bring together people, to feed them, to make life easier for them.”
