Don’t just celebrate Thanksgiving with a huge meal, the Macy’s parade and an afternoon snooze on the couch.

The Salvation Army is seeking volunteers to help serve homemade turkey dinners to approximately 400 Suffolk residents who probably wouldn’t otherwise celebrate the day, said Capt. David May, corps officer.

Volunteers are needed to help prepare and serve food, set up serving areas, entertain guests, clean up and deliver take-out dinners to homebound and handicapped residents.

Dinner is being served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 27 in First Baptist Church, 237 N. Main St.

The menu will include turkey, stuffing, gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, pies, cakes coffee, and tea.

Volunteers are asked to report to First Baptist Church at 10 o’clock Thanksgiving morning and be prepared to help wherever the need is greatest, May said. People preparing food items can take them to the church from noon until 5 p.m. Nov. 26.

People wanting to volunteer should call the Salvation Army at 539-5201.
