Angelika Sliwowski, 4, served up some candied yams during the Thanksgiving of Hope meal service yesterday. Approximately 600 free meals were served outdoors at Bethel and Hotel streets, with volunteers from local organizations serving food donated to the event. "This event is to remind people that Thanksgiving is not just one day a year, but every day," said Sharon Black, organizer and outreach worker of the program.
