Jessica Alba revealed that her Honest Company has been donating supplies to help parents struggling with children as the coronavirus pandemic continues to put people out of work and forces them to self-isolate.

The actress, 38, appeared for a video interview on “The Tonight Show,” where she explained to host Jimmy Fallon that her company remains open as it is considered an “essential business.”

“We are an essential business, so we’re open for business,” she explained to Fallon. “And, actually I’ve gotten a lot of people reaching out to me on Instagram thanking me because, where diapers and wipes and shampoo and hand sanitizer is gone at the stores, they can go to our website and they’re getting subscriptions of our products, our cleaning products, everything and they can just get it.”
