Wanna be a Thanksgiving volunteer?
If you're considering volunteering this Thanksgiving but haven't figured out a plan yet, you better get on it. Soup kitchens are popular places to be at this time of year, and many volunteer lists are already full.
I plan on servicing my acute bourgeois guilt by showing up at The Echo nightclub in Echo Park on Thursday morning, bearing my famous sweet potato gratin, which will be donated to Gobble Gobble Give.
Food On Foot in Hollywood has six sponsorship postions remaining for its big Thanksgiving Day celebration. Yes, that's right, these days volunteering is so popular, you get to pay to do it. For $150 per person, you get to particpate in their Work for Food awards ceremony, and will distribute food and back packs to over 300 homeless and poor individuals. 110 year old Jessie Fairbanks will be in attendance. The event will be held at 1625 N. Schrader in Hollywood and parking is at the site.
In New York (where the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade will go on, even though it is scripted, because its writers are not WGA members), there are plenty of ways you can give. Visit the New York Coalition Against Hunger's website, or Volunteer NYC.
For national volunteering opportunities, visit the altruists' dating service, Volunteer Match.

The Stylephile is a potent cocktail of sweet and sour musings on the culture of keeping up appearances. Style should never be a humorless pursuit. Let style editor Caroline Ryder entertain you.
