Robin Thede‘s HBO series A Black Lady Sketch Show might be over, but it is continuing to push the good times forward by helping women in need.
According to TVLine, the recently-canceled series donated their entire wardrobe and other beauty items to Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit that provides unhoused women on Los Angeles’ Skid Row makeup, hair color, services, showers and more. Shirley Raines, the nonprofit’s founder, shared the news on Twitter.
“Got a call from @hbo and they donated ALL OF THE wardrobes, shoes, purses, wigs, lashes and more to us,” she wrote Tuesday. “They also delivered the very next day to our warehouse. Thx u Robin Thede.”
She also posted a video of her receiving the donations from HBO.
