PHOENIX — St. Vincent de Paul is working to make sure everyone has a hot meal in the Valley this Thanksgiving.

The non-profit’s volunteers prepared 4,500 meals for people experiencing homelessness and low-income families who rely on its five charity dining rooms across the Valley.

This year, St. Vincent de Paul is serving meals in a “hybrid dining” model, which offers guests a choice of socially distanced indoor dining or meals to-go.

The meals include roasted turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean almondine, corn bread stuffing, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and pumpkin pie.
