Thanksgiving Dinner Held at the Salvation Army

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Thanksgiving arrived a little early at the
Salvation Army in Zanesville this year as a traditional feast was
held for those in need this evening. The Salvation Army serves
Thanksgiving dinner to nearly 1,200 community members each year with
the help of countless volunteers from organizations such as local
churches and Boy Scout Troops. Seth Hall, a volunteer with the
Salvation Army, says being involved is an inspirational experience.

“The love of
Christ shown through each and every volunteer here is just
inspirational and it is perspective changing just meeting the
wonderful people that walk through the door.”

Thanksgiving at the
Salvation Army tends to fill not only stomachs—but hearts as well.

“Thanksgiving is a
verb and not a noun. Thanksgiving is—it’s a game changer. No
matter where your mindset is at currently being thankful will change
your perspective to everything. To be able to gather together with
the community; and give thanks and break bread together is a
beautiful thing.”

Visitors of the
Salvation Army enjoyed turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans,
dressing, rolls, coffee, and pie.
