Scarlett Johansson dressed up last night for a cause very close to her heart.
The actor made an entrance at the 2023 God’s Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards, held at the Glasshouse in New York City, in an elegant black cocktail dress by Michael Kors. She paired it with transparent black polka-dot tights and matching Mary Jane heels. The Vicky Cristina Barcelona star accessorized with gold and diamond jewelry, and for glam, she wore a sophisticated wavy 'do, a black smoky eye, a glossy pink lip, and a red manicure.
At the event, the actor discussed her passion for philanthropy and recalled her own difficult childhood as she was honored for her work with the New York-based nonprofit. God’s Love We Deliver provides nutritious meals to those suffering from HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other serious illnesses.
“Throughout my career, I have been fortunate enough to witness firsthand the power of philanthropy and activism, and the work of God's Love We deliver is no exception,” Johansson said. “Their mission to alleviate hunger and provide nourishment encompasses so much more than just physical sustenance. It's about offering support, love, and a sense of dignity during life's most challenging moments.”
Johansson revealed that growing up in New York, her family “was dependent on food stamps, hot lunch programs, and government aid to support our household of four children," Johansson continued. “And as someone who's experienced food insecurity firsthand, I understand the devastating impact it has.”
She praised the nonprofit, as well as volunteers involved with the work, for all their do.
“The struggle to put food on the table can lead to immense hardship and despair and a loss of hope. But organizations like God's Love We Deliver, offer a lifeline to those in need,” Johansson said. “They go beyond providing meals by connecting individuals with resources, creating community support networks, and advocating for long-term solutions to address systemic issues of poverty.”
