) - While many folks gather at the dinner table for Thanksgiving, others are dedicating their holiday to serve others.
“Oh, it’s wonderful,” said Rodney Lott. “Everybody is so nice and the food is good. It’s great. I am just happy to be here.” “We do- every year- a Thanksgiving feeding for the community and we’re preparing for a lot of people to come through. In fact, we prepared over 1200 meals to prepare for today. It’s just a rough time of year for everybody, so it gives us the opportunity to do a little service today,” explained Cpt. Trey Jones, Area Commander for the Coastal Alabama Salvation Army.
“It’s a wonderful feeling,” said Lott. “These people here are homeless-- but they’re really nice people. If they could just get a little more help-- it would be nice to get them out.”“It’s special because I feel like it has kind of taught my kids that it’s not about us- it’s about helping other people and doing the right thing,” said Julie Dismukes.
