City Mission seeks holiday volunteers

 
With Thanksgiving approaching, Sue Cervi, manager of volunteers at the Buffalo City Mission, is looking for volunteers to help give West Side residents and the rest of Buffalo a reason to be thankful. The mission, located at 100 E. Tupper St., is holding its annual Thanksgiving Turkey Express, where 175 volunteer delivery teams will provide turkey dinners and pies to those in need. Beginning at 8a.m. on Nov. 27, the volunteer teams will depart from the mission and deliver 4,500 meals to those who need them. To volunteer for deliveries or to donate food, call the mission’s volunteer department at 854-8181 ext. 404. Residents looking to receive a meal on Thanksgiving can call 854-8181 ext. 419 beginning Nov. 10 to put their name and address on the reservation list. By Laney Hill and Stephanie Vogel
