Some 55.4 million Americans made the journey home to mark their nation's Thanksgiving holidays with family and friends.

Nevertheless, charities and organisations across the country came out in force to serve up hot holiday meals to the less fortunate.

One such organisation is the Los Angeles Mission with which Micky Giblin has been celebrating the holidays for years.

With inflation driving food prices in the USA up 10.5 percent over the past year and homelessness rocketing by 80 percent since 2015, the support from third sector groups has been stretched ever thinner.

With tent cities across the country evidencing the levels of destitution hitting US society, Mayor Karen Bass is working on a solution.

It's the first step in a programme aimed at getting people back on their feet with housing, and subsequently on the road to securing employment.

LA Mission President Troy Vaughn is proud to be serving the charity which helped him turn his life around.

Despite the holiday's observance and its origins being called into question, the LA Mission's 1,500 guests this Thanksgiving were warmly celebrating the charity's generosity - appreciating a hearty feast and some care and companionship.

Not only is Carlos Schmidt grateful for the traditional Thanksgiving turkey but also for the day's company and entertainment.
