 The Salvation Army's Chelsea Corps gave out meals through the food pantry to families. Major Scott Kelly, the General Secretary of Salvation Army, says they have been impacted by a Turkey shortage. We have experienced a little difficulty getting Turkey this year. We did have over the weekend we distributed 2,000 to families in Boston and now 400 today, and it has been a challenge to get turkeys. The Thanksgiving distribution helped almost 400 families with food for the holiday. Major Omar Rawlin says this kind of giving is not just for Thanksgiving. Every Tuesday and Thursday we have our own food pantry and see them arriving like I said every morning at five o'clock in the morning because they need, you know, something they waiting for five hours and we can not say, you know, we can say not, we do it the best for this community. Bob Bronson is a first time volunteer at the distribution. We love the work they do because you can see the work they do. You know, sometimes you make donations and you never see where it goes. Go to Salvation Army, you look around and you see the good it does. Jason Barr is also a first time volunteer. Charity is very important. I think people don't take seriously enough how much is showing up and doing the small things that help out a community. The average cost of Turkey has risen by 20% as per reports from the Farm Bureau. The average cost of a Thanksgiving meal has also increased by 21%. Reporting for BNN, I'm Sukanya Mithra.
