The Salvation Army of Wooster continued its 15-year tradition of serving a free Thanksgiving meal to the community on Thursday. Volunteers set up, plated and served over 125 meals. The meal included turkey, traditional side dishes, and desserts, including surplus pies donated by community members. Guests ranged from those without homes to individuals simply seeking companionship on the holiday.“People do look forward to it,” Major Tom Clark with the Salvation Army said.
'I’m glad we can have this because there’s not a lot of people who have this kind of food around.' Among the 25 volunteers was Mike Camp, who has been involved with the Salvation Army for 10 years. 'Five years of it– I spend the week on the street,” he says. It was a way for him to better understand those he helps serve. His mission is simple:“Feed the people that I was on the street with,” he said.Camp shared a reminder about the importance of valuing those in need.
