TAMPA, Fla. — Volunteers showed up early this morning to fire up the ovens and prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal for those who need it most. Metro spokesperson Billy Somerville compiled a list of items cooked by staff, which included 1,500 pounds of turkey:
• 1,200 lbs. of stuffing
• 1,200 lbs. of mashed potatoes
• 80 gallons of gravy
• 1,300 lbs. of vegetables

As soon as Thanksgiving is over, Metro will start getting ready for Christmas. The organization will need food and money donations as well as volunteers.
