Hilary serverar lunch
Hilary Duff serving lunch at Herb Jamieson on August 1st. Hilary Duff stopped at the Hope Mission to do some charity work - she has a 3-year partnership with Alberta Harvest and asks all concert goers to bring a food donation.
Hilary Duff is used to people waiting to get her autograph, but yesterday morning they got in line for a helping of coleslaw from the popular singer and actress.
Duff, former star of the TV series Lizzie Maguire, was in Edmonton for last night?s concert at Rexall Place. She popped by the downtown Hope Mission earlier in the day to volunteer as a server in the lunch line?
While a few of the homeless men at the shelter wondered who Duff was, most were glad to see her don a Hope Mission apron and kitchen hat?
"We?ve had such a huge response and gotten to feed so many people, especially in Canada. It?s nice to see that people want to help," said Duff.
Calling homelessness and hunger "such an easy problem that can be fixed," she added: "If people were just a little more compassionate and caring and gave their time, it doesn?t take a lot of money."
Besides serving up lunch, Duff, who is particularly popular with young girls, also met with a few lucky fans whose parents work at the mission?
"It?s awesome because it brings awareness to a whole new market of kids who love her and might not have heard of our work before," she said.
