    10:30 a.m. Salvation Army

WHERE: Greek Orthodox Church 279 South 300 West

WHAT: The Salvation Army and the Greek Orthodox Church will now
    be able to serve 2,700 more Thanksgiving turkey meals, thanks
    to a donation by AAA. A convoy, led by a tow-truck, will

    be prepared into meals that will be served to Salt Lake City's
    needy residents on Thanksgiving Day.

WHY: AAA is delivering nearly 21,000 Thanksgiving turkey meals to
    11 charities in Utah, Nevada, and Northern California,
    expecting to meet the entire turkey needs of each charity for
    the holiday. The Thanksgiving turkey delivery project, now in
    its second year, is part of AAA's Road to Caring Program, an
    on-going campaign to meet the needs of the communities it
    serves.
