Look Who’s Helping!

Mel B, Nia Long, and model Chanel Iman, along with Mel’s husband, Stephen Belafonte, brought a bunch of Thanksgiving goodies to needy families in Los Angeles’s South Central neighborhood on Monday.

It’s easy and fun to help when there are cameras around!

For reals, though, people, the economy sucks right now, in case you didn’t get the memo. You know what that means? It means that families in need are more in need than ever. And nothing will help you feel better about your own crappy financial situation than helping out someone in an even worse position than you. I’m serious! Don’t forget to give back this holiday season! If you don’t have any money to give, you can donate your time. There are SO MANY opportunities this time of year. Get out there and get involved and create holiday cheer for everyone. For ideas, check out the Salvation Army in your area or talk to your local church, synagogue, food bank or mission.

  • lol @ taylor.

    i love nia long too, she’s adorable. your comment about the cameras seems undeserving, nia long is far from a publicity chaser.

  • Beet, you should check out the story on Yahoo’s home page about 11 year old Brendan Foster in Seattle whose dying wish was to help feed the homeless.

    Puts things in perspective and really makes you want to do more. It’s popular to help out now, let’s keep it up throughout the rest of the year.

    Those parents just lost a very special child.
