Christmas Day in Los Angeles County will include efforts in downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood and Pasadena to help the growing homeless population, along with traditional church services. About 2,000 homeless men, women and children will be served a Christmas brunch at the Midnight Mission, according to Georgia Berkovich, its director of public affairs. Organizers have the goal of serving 1,000 meals of roast turkey to hungry and homeless individuals at Hollywood United Methodist Church. In recent years the congregations served about 600 people on Christmas Day, while more than 800 were fed last year, according to Rosove. Top comics will join other celebrities in helping serve each guest a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
