He’s perhaps best known for his adorable rooftop dance moves while playing a chimney sweep in Mary Poppins, but Dick Van Dyke hasn’t quietly retired since his breakthrough role in 1964.

In fact, the 95-year-old has been caught doing all sorts of good deeds over the years.

His newest friendliness? Last week, the actor showed up at the Malibu Community Labor Exchange in Los Angeles – and began handing out money to job seekers queuing outside the nonprofit.

Helping others has been an important part of Van Dyke’s life for decades. He is known for volunteering at The Midnight Mission animal shelter in LA for over 20 years. He was also a spokesperson for the Cell Therapy Foundation and the National Reye’s Syndrome Foundation.

Last time we shared the good news about this Hollywood legend? It was supposed to feature Van Dyke dancing with real wife Arlene Silver in the happiest music video ever for bluegrass group Dustbowl Revival.

Oh, and then there was the time he pampered the guests of a Santa Monica Denny’s with an impromptu performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with his a cappella group Vantastix.

The secret to aging gracefully? It seems like it’s just one step out of Van Dyke’s shoes by giving to others and dancing and singing whenever we can.

For proof, just watch this video of Van Dyke dancing in a department store.
