Everybody deserves a Thanksgiving dinner, and the Souls Harbour Rescue Mission is hoping to provide a meal for as many hungry people as possible.

The Mission has been given a lot of potatoes and vegetables, but it hasn't received much for hams and turkeys yet, said Aaron Cross, emergency services manager with Souls Harbour.

People can donate hams and turkeys at 3535 8th Ave.

Thanksgiving dinner will be served at Souls Harbour's soup kitchen, located at 1836 Halifax St., starting at 12 noon on Oct. 10.

"We're expecting probably somewhere between 300 to maybe as many as 400 people," said Cross.

There will be music and gifts, and Cross expects that dinner will be available until food runs out.

He also mentions that Souls Harbour needs food beyond Thanksgiving.

"We serve meals at this Mission here through our Life Change program 365 days a year. If people are willing to donate any food at all, we welcome it," said Cross.

Corporations and organizations can also sponsor a Thanksgiving meal.
