Area community members are making the holiday season a little brighter for those in need.
Volunteers at the Joplin Salvation Army are already preparing for the two annual Thanksgiving dinners given for area senior citizens in nursing homes, as well as the homeless.
Salvation Army officials say there still is a need for turkeys and other items used to fill holiday gift baskets.
"Oh the need is great, and we`ve already seen the need is greater this year because we`ve had clients come in at a greater rate this year, filling out the applications for their thanksgiving boxes," Salvation Army Christmas Coordinator Deborah Williamson said.
Turkeys are still needed for the upcoming homeless dinner, which will be held on Thanksgiving Day.
If you`d like to give to the Salvation Army in time for the holiday season, you may call 624-4528.
