Ben Affleck Volunteers at LA Homeless Site After Wildfires Displace Thousands

Amid devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, Ben Affleck has been actively volunteering to support those affected, including offering aid at a homeless encampment. After evacuating his home in Pacific Palisades, which was spared from the flames, Affleck sought refuge at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home. The wildfires, which began on January 7, have resulted in the loss of 28 lives and the destruction of over 16,000 structures, displacing thousands of residents. Affleck's efforts highlight the urgent need for relief as the Los Angeles homeless crisis has been exacerbated by the fires. While progress has been made in reducing homelessness in the area, the recent disaster threatens to undo these gains. Several celebrities have also been affected, losing their homes to the destructive blazes.
