Jennifer Lawrence visited Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky just before Christmas for the fifth year to bring joy to patients in her hometown.
The "Hunger Games" actress was dressed down in dark plaid long-sleeved shirt over a black T-shirt, wearing only minimal make-up, as she met with the patients and staff of the hospital.
"Louisville's own Jennifer Lawrence stopped by Norton Children's today to visit with patients, families, and staff," said hospital staff on their official Facebook page. "This visit has become a tradition for Lawrence each Christmas. Thank you, Jennifer! You sure do bring a smile to all!"
One photo shows the 27-year-old celebrity posing with the very happy employees, while another features her making a little girl's day as Lawrence holds the girl close for a shot.
The annual Christmas visit has become a tradition for the "Silver Linings Playbook" actress, who was born and raised in Louisville.
Her parents Karen and Gary ran a children's day camp in the city, where she used to be an assistant nurse before becoming an award-winning actress.
In 2016, she pledged a $2 million donation for the facility, which was then still called Kosair Children's Hospital.
The actress announced the great news through a video, where she said she will be establishing the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
"As part of my effort to help these children and caregivers, I challenge the entire community to get behind this cause and help match my gift by raising an additional $2 million to support all of these brave and inspiring children," she added.
The new wing was to include private rooms for patients recovering from various heart procedures and conditions — open heart surgery, heart transplant, heart failure, among others — that require intensive care. Fourteen beds for family members was also included in the plan.
