Salvation Army helping patients in need of supplies FORT MYERS, Fla.- Every year, The Salvation Army of Lee, Hendry, and Glades Counties offers a traditional Thanksgiving meal to anyone in need. Again this Thanksgiving, The Salvation Army plans to serve meals to hundreds of people in the community. This holiday meal is not possible without the help of the Southwest Florida community. County Commissioners Cecil Pendergrass and Brian Hamman will be on site serving those who come to The Salvation Army in need this Thanksgiving. In 2014, nearly 600 people came to eat a Thanksgiving meal at The Salvation Army of Lee County. The organization expects a similar number to come to its Edison Avenue campus for help this year. The meal is served from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. at The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Lodge, 2400 Edison Avenue in Fort Myers. Again this year, the Thanksgiving meal will include a special performance by volunteer Doug Cameron, a renowned violinist who will delight diners with beautiful music during the meal. The Salvation Army is very appreciative of the many volunteers who have already signed up to help on Thanksgiving Day – in fact, no further volunteers are needed at this time to serve the meal. Members of the community who would still like to help are encouraged to bring food donations to The Salvation Army Red Shield Lodge. Food items that are needed include: turkeys, instant mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, pre-baked pies, cookies, and canned drinks. All food donations can be brought to The Salvation Army Red Shield Lodge at 2400 Edison Ave. This location will be accepting donations seven days a week from 7 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Donations after Thanksgiving will be directed to The Salvation Army’s food pantry which serves more than 600 families per month.
