Celebrating Thanksgiving on Facebook helps feed the hungry

An application called Thanksgiving Feast lets you host a virtual holiday dinner on Facebook to raise real-world funds for the United Nations World Food Programme. And you don’t have to spend a dime!

A donation is made by the application’s sponsors for each dinner hosted, and each dish of turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. brought to the table.

So far, the app – which started Sunday and runs through the holiday weekend – has brought in enough for about 30,000 meals, said SocialVibe chief executive officer Jay Samit.
