SAN ANTONIO – Preparations are underway at Meals on Wheels San Antonio as they get ready Thanksgiving meals for hundreds of seniors.
Their latest kitchen apparatus lets in the nonprofit to supply extra meals to the group.
“We are serving more people this Thanksgiving in our community than we have in the past few years, and that’s fantastic,” stated Ariana Barbour, Director of Marketing and Communications at Meals on Wheels San Antonio. “Partly because we are serving more people in general. We are serving about 4,000 people every day.”
It’s the primary time Thanksgiving meals are cooked on the group’s latest campus off Nacogdoches and Danbury Road.
“Our amazing kitchen team is plating meals for Thanksgiving so that we can have everything ready to go. Tomorrow, more meals will be plated,” Barbour stated.
More than 1,800 kilos of turkey and greater than 3,700 kilos of aspect dishes shall be served this Thanksgiving to native seniors.
“We are going to have our team in here around 9 a.m. to get everything going and start delivering to almost 2,300 seniors in our community,” Barbour stated.
Volunteers are including a personalized touch via turning in the meals.
“If you don’t have anyone to spend the holiday with, that can be really hard. So we are really excited that our volunteers can go and say ‘Happy Thanksgiving,’” Barbour stated. “Kickoff that holiday season, and it makes them feel really special that people are taking their time on this day to do that for them,” Barbour stated.
