In conjunction with this project, she launched her own non-profit, The Camp Lisa Foundation, designed to help underprivileged kids attend summer camp through its partnership with Summer Camp Opportunities Provide an Edge, Inc. (S.C.O.P.E.). Loeb has starred in two television series, "Dweezil and Lisa", a weekly culinary adventure for the Food Network and "No. 1 Single", a dating show on the E! Network in 2006.
