Mariah Carey got in to the true spirit of Thanksgiving by volunteering her time at the True Worship Church in New York. Working in conjunction with the non-profit organisation Fresh Air Fund, the pop diva gave a little something back to the community that has supported her throughout her career by hosting a special three-hour Thanksgiving dinner.

With her hair tied up in a bun, Mariah was all smiles as she served up plates of roast turkey, stuffing and vegetables to inner-city children and their families at the Brooklyn church. The pop star traded her normally glamorous attire for the more practical casual jeans and a blue hooded sporting jacket. After the meal the 34-year-old took time out to pose for pictures and chat with the children.

New York city wasn’t the only place where stars were helping out those in need on Thanksgiving. Celebs in Los Angeles were also getting into the holiday’s spirit. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Melissa Joan Hart - of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch fame - lent a hand in feeding the homeless at the Los Angeles mission’s annual Thanksgiving dinner. They were part of a crew of volunteers who helped serve more than 3,000 meals to less fortunate locals.
