Carol Anne Howell came, as she does every year, with her two sons, Justin and Austin Boyd: "We have been doing this for 10 years now," she said, "since the boys were little. We enjoy the work."

The work is feeding those in need a hot Thanksgiving dinner. Carol Anne, her sons, and 40 other volunteers and staff served about 300 people a traditional Thanksgiving meal at Western Carolina Rescue Ministry on Patton Avenue on a cool and windy day.

Women and children received a special 'turkey box' made by kids just for the occasion with candy and small toys. No one was turned away, and there was plenty left overs, even of mashed potatoes.
