CSI: New York‘s Carmine Giovinazzo (Danny Messer) was one of the hundreds of volunteers that showed up to work at the annual Thanksgiving event at the Los Angeles Mission on Wednesday, November 25. Thousands came for the meal, which included more than a ton of turkey, 800 pounds of mixed vegetables, 750 pounds of garlic mashed potatoes, 400 pounds of cranberry relish, 90 gallons of gravy and 3,500 dinner rolls—along with 440 pumpkin pies for dessert.

“We’ve served 580-thousand meals in the last 12 months, an increase of nearly 10 percent over the previous year,” said Herb Smith, President of the Los Angeles Mission. “Everyone knows the Los Angeles Mission has celebrities come down and serve meals for the holidays, but we are more than just meals. The Mission works daily to save the lives and then restore the dignity of hundreds of homeless and poor men, women and children.”
