Kim Kardashian and Other Celebrities Who Give Back on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving isn't just about roasting turkeys, whipping mashed potatoes, and serving smooth pumpkin pie. It's also about giving back and helping others. Many organizations work to provide hot meals on Thanksgiving to those who might otherwise not be able to obtain one. While sometimes it seems like our favorite celebrities live on a different planet than we do, on Thanksgiving everyone comes together to make an effort to help those less fortunate.

This rapper helped give out turkeys at Detroit's River Rouge High School last year. His nonprofit, the Sean Anderson Foundation,  works to help improve the lives of today's youth.
