(La Porte, IN) - A take home meal is not quite what the Pilgrims had in mind for Thanksgiving, but that’s the world as we know it today. 

The La Porte Salvation Army will not hold its traditional dine in meal for Thanksgiving this year because of COVID-19.  Instead, containers of turkey and other trimmings will be handed out to people in their vehicles on Monday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Drivers can pull up to the front doors of the Salvation Army headquarters, at 3240 Monroe Street, to receive their dinners.  Captain Chris Karlin said enough food for about 500 meals will be available.
