The Salt Lake City Mission prepares thousands of meals for those in need over the next several weeks and this year's Thanksgiving Dinner will be hosted by the Mission on November 24.
"I would also like to let people know that It is 'more than just a meal' As we feed someone desperately in need of food, we also offer to assist meeting additional needs of those finding life very difficult. It is hard for those who live on a path of frustration and struggle day after day. So many feel like no one else cares, especially the homeless who are often left to their own defenses. But we meet people right where they're at and many times food is the first thing they need. Once we gain their trust in friendship and show them someone does care, we can then work on helping them recover from their situations to live a more positive life.", says Pastor Shawn Clay, Director of Salt Lake City Mission.

- Non-perishable food items
- Frozen Turkeys and whole chickens
