RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) —
The Raleigh Rescue Mission plans to feed about 1,000 people Thursday, most of them through their “Gobbles To Go” program.
Dozens of volunteers, from all walks of life, gathered around a Thanksgiving feast Thursday morning to assemble to-go meals for folks in need, those without family to turn to, and to fill in the gap for “Meals on Wheels.”An estimated 850 meals are being delivered today along with a bag of groceries for the 531 households served.
The deliveries are being made possible by volunteers – many of them using the experience as an opportunity to share values with their children.
“We’re just spending time together as a family, and being thankful,” said Brian Weiland, a volunteer, “and also being blessed enough to spend time with other families, and pass out some groceries and food for them.”
The mission will also open its door to serve a Thanksgiving meal in the evening and expects to feed about 120 people there.
