Jesica Simpson donates van to orphanage

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Pop star Jessica Simpson donated some Hollywood swag to a Mexican orphanage, a new Chrysler Town & Country van she won during the MTV Video Music Awards.

Simpson originally won a sportier Crossfire, Chrysler said, but asked for the van to get more mileage for the orphanage, E! News reported Friday.

The van is expected to be delivered next month.

It's not the first good deed Simpson has done for the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo, publicist Cindi Berger told E! News.

Simpson first visited the orphanage when she was 11 as part of a Texas church group. She has been donating time and money to Casa Hogar Elim for years, Berger said.

Simpson has already kicked off her next donating initiative for the orphanage, auctioning on eBay the red dress she wore in her Super Bowl commercial for Pizza Hut.
