He needs a shoe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The photographer asked what size the man needed, with Garner informing him that the homeless man was \u201c10 and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, I\u2019m 11! Want me to give it to him? I can give it to him,\u201d the paparazzo responded. To his credit, the photographer refused payment from Garner and gave up his shoes freely.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Garner\u2019s generosity likely won\u2019t come as a surprise to anyone who\u2019s followed her life and career closely. The\u00a0actress\u00a0has long been an advocate of helping others in need, having partnered with Save the Children over a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I did not grow up poor I was surrounded by it and I always said I was a generation and a holler removed from rural poverty,\u201d she once told\u00a0Southern Living<\/p>\n<p>And I went looking and ended up with Save the Children.
