Celebrating their 10th year of giving, the Praise & Glory non-profit organization, in collaboration with friends, used the Malcom X Library to serve the community a free full course meal.

Last Saturday the all-you-can-eat feast featured traditional Thanksgiving Day foods complete with turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, some mean green beans, sweet potato pie, cake and much more.
“A very special thanks goes out to cook, Miss Rhodes, and everybody else – they know who they are – for making this thanksgiving blessing possible,” Alice Lioyd shared.
