Since the fallout of the 2019 college admissions scandal, Lori Loughlin has had limited appearances, both for general public sightings and for work. The Full House alum was released from prison in 2020 after also facing a fine of $150,000. Upon release, she also had to complete 100 hours of community service. Loughlin volunteered at Project Angel Food and she has called her time there very enriching. Loughlin has already made her return to acting but only just participated in her first post-scandal interview, seen in a video from KTLA as part of its Lead with Love 3 telethon. Other stars participated, including Eric McCormack from Will & Grace. What has Loughlin been up to with her volunteer work?

A source told Page Six, "She continued to volunteer on a weekly basis, every week, making deliveries. She doesn’t do this for show. She’s very quiet about it, but she shows up every single week. It’s become a weekly thing for her. It’s a part of who she is. She really loves this work."
