ORLANDO, Fla. – The volunteer group “Light Orlando” is preparing to get hundreds of Thanksgiving meals to those less fortunate on Thursday.

Volunteers are expected to begin packing meals starting on Thursday morning, with distribution planned to start around 10 a.m. and last until all meals have been handed out.
Meals are also going to be donated to local charities, which will then deliver them to the homes of people who are sick, elderly or in need.
“We’re taking that opportunity to get volunteers together to help serve others on this day, and hopefully that instills in everyone a desire to continue to do it throughout the year,” said Paul Waters with the church.
