“Landman” actress Paulina Chávez stars in one of Taylor Sheridan’s most popular shows, and she’s not shy about shining her light on community outreach efforts in her San Antonio hometown.
In a Monday update to Facebook, the San Antonio Food Bank released images of Chávez as she worked alongside fellow volunteers to serve up sandwiches at a local shelter.
“We’re sending a big thank you to actress Paulina Chávez from Landman for rolling up her sleeves and volunteering at our Community Kitchen at Haven for Hope!” the post said.

The images, which were snapped on Dec. 29, featured Chávez in full volunteer gear – complete with gloves, a hair net and an apron. The cherry on top? In one photo, the San Antonio-raised actress can be seen sporting a shirt that says “Mexicana.”
According to the update, Chávez joined the San Antonio Food Bank’s team of Hunger Fighters in late December last year to help “nourish neighbors with dignity, care, and compassion.”
Chávez’s volunteer work highlights her deep roots in San Antonio, where she spent much of her childhood.

The actress was born in El Paso and moved to the Alamo City with her family when she was 6 years old. According to her biography, she discovered her love of acting in the city after diving headfirst into her school’s theater program.

After landing roles in film and television projects, Chávez scored a spot on Sheridan’s “Landman” series as the character Ariana – who went viral for semi-infamously calling San Antonio “the most magical city in the world.”
As it turns out, Chávez has IRL love for the Alamo City – and she’s not afraid to show it.
“When our community comes together like this, hope is always on the menu,” the San Antonio Food Bank wrote in its Monday update. “Thank you, Paulina, for standing with our neighbors and helping fight hunger across Southwest Texas.”
