===Activism and philanthropy===
Gellar has been an active advocate for various charities, including [[breast cancer]] research, [[Project Angel Food]], [[Habitat for Humanity]] and [[CARE (relief)|CARE]]. Of her charitable pursuits, she said: "I started because my mother taught me a long time ago that even when you have nothing, there's ways to give back. And what you get in return for that is tenfold. But it was always hard because I couldn't do a lot. I couldn't do much more than just donate money when I was on [''Buffy''] because there wasn't time. And now that I have the time, it's amazing."<ref name="smgint2">{{cite web |date=October 9, 2004 |title=Interview with Sarah Michelle Gellar (2 of 2) |url=http://www.radiofree.com/profiles/sarah_michelle_gellar/interview02.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313222214/http://www.radiofree.com/profiles/sarah_michelle_gellar/interview02.shtml |archive-date=March 13, 2016 |access-date=August 14, 2015 |work=Radiofree.com}}</ref>
