Bella Thorne is a creature of philanthropic habit…

The 16-year-old half-Cuban actress, singer and soon-to-be published author took part in Los Angeles Mission‘s annual Thanksgiving for the Homeless on Wednesday, November 27.

Thorne, who participated in the event last year, joined hundreds of other volunteers who put on the red aprons and helped serve hot meals to the homeless.

Thorne, who rocked a black-and-white sweatshirt, was joined by her boyfriend Tristan Klier who planted a kiss on her head at one point. She also took to Twitter to write, “getting ready to serve some hot meals at @TheLAMission #skidrowmeal. just a couple dollars serves a whole meal to someone in need.”

Other celebrities joining the annual charitable event included former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi, supernanny Jo Frost, singer Allison Paige, former Desperate Housewives star Andrea Bowen and model Arianny Celeste.
