Tis the season to pack on the pounds studies show the average Thanksgiving meal contains more than 3000 calories kicking off a holiday feeding frenzy that is estimated to pack some 305 million pounds onto the National waistline by New Year’s Eve.
If you want to give thanks this Thanksgiving check out VolunteerMatch.com or the app givegab.com to find ways to get involved based on your availability, including delivering meals to people in need with meals on wheels, serving dinner at homeless shelter, or running in a turkey trot.

Let’s spread thanks and the holiday spirit with those all around us. Bringing you the best of California Life.
