Ellie Goulding to serve homeless on Christmas

Los Angeles: Actress Ellie Goulding will be serving food to homeless people and will help out at a shelter all day, on Christmas Eve.

The 27-year-old pop star has helped out at the shelter for several years and says it is her way of trying to give people a little bit of Christmas spirit, reported Glamour magazine.

"I'm volunteering all day at a shelter. I've done it for a few years. It's fun and part of the reason I run my gigs," she revealed, while speaking before her Streets of London benefit show at the Shepherd's Bush O2 Academy last night.

"It's not just people who are homeless in the shelters but also those who are lonely and don't have someone to spend time with. I was chatting to a guy last year who was a musician from Africa who had found himself homeless. The thought of someone not having a Christmas..." she added.
