GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – If you think putting a Thanksgiving feast on the table for loved ones is a feat, try feeding more than 1,000 people.

That’s exactly what hundreds of volunteers did Thursday during Mel Trotter Ministries’ 21st annual Thanksgiving Community Meal.

Nearly 800 people helped prepare and serve an enormous amount of food, including:

Many of the volunteers have made the dinner at DeVos Place part of their Thanksgiving tradition, year after year.
