Local volunteers make this an annual tradition

The Salvation Army is opening its doors to the community on Thanksgiving Day to serve a traditional holiday meal, complete with turkey and all the fixings. Dozens of volunteers spend the day serving meals to those who come to enjoy food and fellowship. This year’s community meal will be served on Thursday, November 28 from 11:00am – 1:15pm at the Shreveport Corps at 200 East Stoner Avenue.

Interview opportunities will be available between 9:30am-11:00am with some of our long-time volunteers. Lieutenant Jamaal and Tami Ellis also are available for interviews.

Local members of the non-profit, Operation Barbeque Relief, will provide the turkey. We are thankful to the community for their generous donations of store-bought desserts. Only our afternoon volunteer slots are still open for Thanksgiving Day. To learn more about other holiday volunteer opportunities, please call 424-3200, ext. 23.
