Volunteers Help Deliver 5,300 Thanksgiving Meals

DENVER (CBS4)- The Squeaky Bean restaurant teamed up with local organizations to bring a Thanksgiving meal to those who may not otherwise have a hot meal on the holiday.

Volunteers packed up the traditional turkey and all the fixings on Thursday and packed them in vehicles for delivery.

The meals were delivered to those in subsidized housing, those along the Cherry Creek Bike Trail and anyone else who wanted them. They also set up a buffet to serve those living downtown.

More than 300 volunteers have been working since last weekend to make it happen.

"When the ad went up on Facebook, I was like, 'Absolutely I would love to help' so clearly with my family I'm super excited to see them later but it's been great to give back and spend the day to bring some warmth and some love to the Denver community," said volunteer Arthur Beutel.

Some 5,300 meals were delivered to those in need.
