Jane Lynch loves doing charity work

Actress Jane Lynch is a huge fan of charity work and believes that everyone should give it a try.

Lynch, who hosted VH1’s Do Something Awards, revealed that she focuses a lot of her energy on local California charities to help those who are less fortunate.

“I stay local with that kind of work. In California we’re basically bankrupt in our public schools; we don’t have arts, music or drama, so I help raise money for my own child’s school so that we can have our art teacher and music teacher,” she said.

“It’s proven that part of your brain, when you wake that up, you’re just a more rounded person, you become a part of a team and you’re making something beautiful, you’re making something out of nothing—there’s a lot to be said for that.”

The Glee star also took the time to mention fellow actor George Clooney, and the work he does to help others.

“I love what George Clooney does, he gets right out there, he’s helping a lot of people, he has many charitable arms, he puts his money where his mouth is and I’m impressed with that.”
