Jennifer Garner spent Thanksgiving supporting a homeless shelter in Los Angeles, dedicating her day to helping serve meals to members of the Skid Row community. The 13 Going on 30 actress joined The Midnight Mission for its annual holiday initiative, where hundreds of Thanksgiving dishes were prepared and distributed to those in need. Photographs from the event showed the actress at the mashed potato station, ensuring every visitor received a generous serving.

In a video shared by the charity, the 53-year-old reflected on what she was grateful for, expressing appreciation for the Los Angeles community, her family and the spirit of compassion shown by volunteers. She encouraged others to seek out local organisations offering support to people facing food insecurity or homelessness, praising The Midnight Mission for its commitment to dignity and respect.
Garner was joined by other well-known faces, including Dancing with the Stars professional Sasha Farber and musician Tom Morello, who attended with his son. The actress has collaborated with The Midnight Mission on previous Thanksgiving events, showing consistent support for the charity’s work.
