Turkeys and trimmings sought by The Salvation Army
The “wanted poster” that hangs on the wall of The Salvation Army kitchen list items needed for the preparation of the annual Thanksgiving Day dinner. The kitchen staff at The Salvation Army is wondering how it will feed the hundreds that will come and dine on Thanksgiving day. In 2008, over 560 meals were served to hungry Lee County residents. The Army knows it will see an increase in the number of diners that will visit the Edison Avenue campus and hopes that the community will work with them to provide for those less fortunate.
Items on the “wanted poster” that are needed to help feed the hundreds that will gather for this year’s holiday meal are: Turkeys; onions; instant mashed potatoes; pre-bakes pies; cranberry sauce; cookies; green beans; fresh fruit; celery; and 12-ounce canned drinks.
Donation Drop off sites are: The Salvation Army Red Shield Lodge at 2400 Edison Avenue in Fort Myers or The Salvation Army Corps Office at
10291 McGregor Blvd. Drop-off times are between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Monday through Friday
