Dozens worked to create a memorable holiday for the 'Love Thy Neighbor' community Thanksgiving held at First United Methodist Church in Elgin.
"The food was really good and that the people here are really nice," said Mariah Bell, who came with her family.
The Thanksgiving celebration was not just for the homeless. It was for everyone who wanted to share a meal with their neighbor. "I couldn't fall asleep last night and I tried everything in the book. And now that I am down here, I feel relief. I see the excitement in the building," said volunteer Frank Scheid."She likes helping out and she has a good heart," Diaz said."Faith has really shown me this is where I need to be and God has been putting me in the right places," Sanchez said.
