'It is about family and this is about a bigger family than my own family,' Sunae Cho, the lead pastor at Lake Merritt Methodist Church said.
Oakland had a number of free Thanksgiving dinners on Thursday as many volunteers gave up time with their families to serve others.The turkeys are prepped, the gravy is hot and eager hungry bellies are ready, lined up around the block.
"Often, this is a great way to spend at least part of your Thanksgiving," Tom Huetteman, a senior member of Lake Merritt Methodist Church said. Huetteman has been coming to Lake Merritt Methodist Church for three decades, the same amount of time this church has given back to Oakland every turkey day.RELATED:"What you probably see out there is a lot of elders in our community, they live nearby in some senior housing and they're struggling paycheck to paycheck, and so these meals and the groceries we provide are critical help to make ends meet," he said.
But none of these to-go meals would be possible without the hard-working volunteers that have given up time with their own families to serve others this Thanksgiving. "It is about family and this is about a bigger family than my own family," Sunae Cho, the lead pastor at Lake Merritt Methodist Church said.
