Dick Van Dyke has continued to demonstrate his kindness by purchasing and delivering jackets to people in need, just weeks after handing out $5 notes to job seekers and the homeless.
The 96-year-old Hollywood great once again shown his kind heart when he was observed purchasing many red plaid winter jackets at a shop before donating them to his favorite charitable organization.
The actress is usually spotted doing good works at the Malibu Community Labor Exchange, which connects companies and job seekers.
Earlier in the day, the famed Mary Poppins was seen pulling a shopping cart full of the apparel into his vehicle.
He then parked his Lexus outside the NGO and personally delivered the clothing.
Some persons seeking the organization’s assistance were clearly moved as they went away with a fresh new coat.
Just a few weeks ago, DailyMail.com reported that the Hollywood great was seen outside the same Malibu building handing out cash to job searchers and conversing with the homeless.
The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star handed out $5 notes, chatted with various workers, and brought cheer to homeless individuals around.
‘Whenever I have some fives,’ Dick explained. ‘But you can’t do it all the time!’
A center employee then joined in, ‘Just call him an angel from God,’ which the humble veteran dismissed with his characteristic modesty before waving farewell.
Dick, who was dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt, gray sweatpants, and black slip-on shoes, is a renowned supporter of the group and was first pictured there handing out money in May 2021.
After leaving the center, he performed errands at a Malibu bank and drugstore, appearing to be in good spirits the whole time.
DailyMail.com had the opportunity to speak with the actor when he was out running errands in June.
He informed us soon before Father’s Day, ‘I’m simply pleased to still be here!’
Dick has seven grandchildren and four with his ex-wife Margerie Willet, whom he married on the radio show Bride and Groom in 1948 before divorcing 36 years later.
Michelle Triola Marvin, his lifelong companion, died in 2009 after 30 years of marriage.
He has been married to Arlene Silver, a former make-up artist, since 2012.
Dick has had a full life. He served in the US Army during WWII and is only one Oscar away from being an EGOT.

He is most remembered for his parts in The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-66), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), and, most recently, Mary Poppins Returns (2018).
Dick demonstrated he could still act, sing, and dance on Valentine’s Day this year, appearing with his wife 46 years his junior in their Everybody Loves a Lover music video.
Along with barbershop quartet The Vantastix and trumpet player Tony Guerrero, the pair played a cheerful rendition of a Richard Adler and Robert Allen song made popular by Doris Day in 1958.
‘I love to harmonize, so that keeps me going,’ Dick added of the 2020 group. ‘It’s sort of my retirement diversion. I’m not a golfer. I enjoy singing and dancing more.’

Dick first met Arlene when he presented Julie Andrews with a lifetime achievement award at the 13th Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2007.
‘We got along quickly as friends, so it didn’t feel like he was that much older than me,’ Arlene remarked.
‘He is the epitome of humanity. I’ve never met somebody who was that cheerful, real, and great. ‘He’s like a joyful pill.’
