Nearly four years after Lori Loughlin was indicted amid the college admissions scandal, she has reflected about going through hard times.“It is a community, it is a family, and all the people that work here are so wonderful,” the Full House alum, 57, gushed over working with Project Angel Food during its “Lead With Love 3” telethon on Saturday, July 23. “They have welcomed me with such open arms at a time when I was feeling particularly down and broken.

That’s how I found a home here, and that’s what I feel like they did for me, and that’s why I’m so proud to be here and working with this organization, because they really do care.

It’s really a community.”She added: “It’s more than just feeding people, it’s about loving people and helping people. And I think, that is so important, and I am so proud to be a part of Project Angel Food.”Loughlin appeared on the benefit’s broadcast, which was televised via Los Angeles’ KTLA 5 station, to help the organization raise awareness in combatting food insecurity in the area.“I’ve been working with Project Angel Food for a year and a half now, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” the When Calls the Heart alum said on Saturday. “I got to work everywhere — packed a lot of cereal, and I’ve packed a lot of fruit.

Bags and bags of fruit. My favorite is doing the deliveries: I have the same delivery route, once a week, and I see the same people, and it’s so nice to make that connection with those people.
