“There are always people who don’t have any place to go for Thanksgiving,” Vine Church Pastor Tom Moffat said. “We don’t want them to be alone.” Moffat (shown here with his wife, and Co-Pastor, Gardenia) organized the dinner, which was publicized by local churches. Photo by Marion Vendituoli
24 volunteers cooked and served 17 turkeys, ham and sausage, along with all the traditional Thanksgiving fixings. Pastor Moffat estimated that 175  dinners were served. Meals were also taken to Dollar General employees, and served to Border Patrol agents and SEFD personnel. Photo by Marion Vendituoli
