EP's Gobble Gobble Give Backs Up Traffic on Sunset for Blocks
Over 700 volunteers from all around Southern California came to the Echo in Echo Park to donate food and clothing, and to distribute them to the homeless.
Sunset Boulevard was backed up all the way to Park as drivers dropped off and picked up food destined for Southern California's homeless Thursday morning.
They were taking part in the 14th annual Gobble Gobble Give.

The event's become a huge Thanksgiving tradition for many.
