ODESSA, TEXAS - The Salvation Army in Odessa is preparing for its annual Thanksgiving meal, which — as it has the past — will be free to anyone who goes to The Salvation Army Thursday morning.
Odessa Corps Officer Lt. Joe Contreras said Salvation Army staff and volunteers will serve turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and other foods between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The food, some being donated by individual volunteers, was purchased by the Salvation Army.
“We usually prepare for about 200 to 250 people,” Contreras said. “We should have plenty.”
The meal is free to anyone who walks through the doors, Contreras said, regardless if they “take the bus or drive a Mercedes.” He encouraged all people who had no place to go to stop by and enjoy a free, hot meal.
“We’ll have the doors wide open for them,” he said.
