All Sought by The Salvation Army
              
(FORT MYERS, FLORIDA) —   The “wanted poster” that hangs on the wall of The Salvation Army kitchen list items needed for the preparation of the annual Thanksgiving Day dinner. 

The kitchen staff at The Salvation Army is wondering how it will feed the hundreds that will come and dine on Thanksgiving day. 

In 2008, over 560 meals were served to hungry Lee County residents.  The Army knows it will see an increase in the number of diners that will visit the Edison Avenue campus and hopes that the community will work with them to provide for those less fortunate.  

Items on the “wanted poster” that are needed to help feed the hundreds that will gather for this year’s holiday meal are:

Turkeys    
Onions
Instant Mashed Potatoes  
Pre-Baked Pies
Large Cranberry Sauce  
Cookies
Large Green Beans   
Fresh Fruit
Celery     
12 oz. Canned Drinks

Donation Drop off sites are:
The Salvation Army Red Shield Lodge
2400 Edison Avenue in Fort Myers

The Salvation Army Corps Office
10291 McGregor Blvd in Fort Myers

Drop-off times:
Between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm
Monday through Friday
