Jennifer Garner Volunteers on Skid Row for Thanksgiving
Jennifer Garner, a famous actress, spent her Thanksgiving Day helping out at a special lunch for people in need.
She worked at a place called The Midnight Mission in Los Angeles, where she served mashed potatoes to people who might not have a big Thanksgiving meal otherwise.
Jennifer said she was grateful for the day and for being able to help.
She has done this before, and last year, her ex-husband Ben Affleck and their three kids joined her.
They all enjoy spending time together while helping others.
Jennifer also shared some fun things she has learned for her job on her Instagram.
