VISUALS: |
Great opportunity for live feed, photos and interviews with wonderful visuals of preparing a traditional homemade Thanksgiving feast with all of the trimmings for thousands of homeless and impoverished men, women, children and families. |
Fred Jordan Mission staff and volunteers cooking over 1 ton of giant turkey legs, 500 pounds of mashed potatoes, 80 gallons of gravy, hundreds of pounds of traditional cornbread stuffing, 560 pounds of candied yams, 585 pounds of green beans, glazed carrots, spiced peaches, cranberry sauce and 400 pumpkin pies. |

This annual dinner doesn't only draw homeless people. It also draws working families who can't afford to cook a Thanksgiving Day dinner of their own. |
|
Additionally, we are already preparing to bring Christmas to thousands of poor children and families and are in desperate need of unwrapped toys for these impoverished boys and girls. We are inviting all Thanksgiving volunteers or anyone who wants to help to bring a $15.00 unwrapped toy to the Mission anytime between now and on Thanksgiving Day. What a wonderful way to celebrate Thanksgiving! |

WHEN: |
9am – 11pm, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2014 |
We'll be cooking all day and most of the night and we've got plenty of chef's hats and aprons to share with reporters. |

The special Thanksgiving Banquet for thousands of poor and homeless children, women and men and thousands of volunteers will begin at 10:00am on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 27, 2014. At the banquet, we will be giving away free family food bags for all families. |
