Slumdog Millionaire actor Freida Pinto worked to feed 800 people with the leftovers from the Oscars weekend.

The Slumdog Millionaire star took to Instagram to announce the commendable feat.

“The stories that feed our culture has now fed OVER 800 people. Sharing excess food to feed our community is a no-brainer. Thank you @filmindependent #spiritawards @gocopia @lamission for making this happen! #zerowaste #zerohunger #eatlikeastar,” Freida wrote, along side a collage of pictures that show how the drive turned out to be a success.

In one of her earlier posts, she wrote, “Wastage isn’t glamorous, feeding people is! #zerowaste #zerohunger #eatlikeastar @gocopia”.

Before the Oscar craze took off, Freida announced the project on social media, where she wrote, “Weekends biggest parties to recover excess food and deliver it to communities most in need in Los Angeles. #zerowaste #zerohunger Because this food is too good to be wasted. Thank you Women in Film for your incredible support @hellomikeamico.”
