Metropolitan Ministries to serve more than 6,000 Thanksgiving meals

Dozens of workers and volunteers were up bright and early at Metropolitan Ministries in Tampa preparing 6,000 meals.

They’ll be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Tampa.

They’ve put on an extensive Thanksgiving dinner for those in need for years.

It takes a lot to get the hearty meals ready. 

More than 1,500 pounds of turkey, 1,300 pounds of vegetables, 80 gallons of gravy and 1,000 pies will be served.
