Meghan Markle isn't one to sit back and watch. In the aftermath of the tragic shooting that took place at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school earlier this week, the Duchess of Sussex made a surprise visit to the town to pay her respects.
The duchess was spotted in Uvalde on Thursday afternoon, where she laid flowers at a memorial for the victims of the shooting. She then surprised volunteers at a local blood drive and donated food to the Herby Ham Activity Center.
Local volunteers discussed the unexpected visit with Buzzfeed News, where they revealed that Markle dropped off two crates full of sandwiches, drinks and desserts for the blood donors. “She was just really sweet,” said volunteer Georjean Burnell. “She just kind of walked in with her [security] crew and started putting ice waters in the bucket with us and laying out chips for the people who were needing snacks before and after donating.”
