Mozel Sanders Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway Seeks Additional Volunteers

The Mozel Sanders Foundation is gearing up to provide 10,000 free meals this Thanksgiving at four different locations in Indianapolis. This initiative continues the legacy of Rev. Mozel Sanders, who dedicated his life to feeding the hungry.

To facilitate this mission, the foundation is calling for additional volunteers. The meals will be distributed at the following locations:

• Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, 1301 N. Goodlet Avenue
• Roberts Park United Methodist Church, 401 N. Delaware Street
• Ivy Tech Community College, 50 W. Fall Creek Parkway
• P30, 3039 N. Post Road

The organization emphasizes that more volunteers are essential to ensure everyone receives a meal. "We need in the neighborhood of a thousand volunteers," said Dawn Jordan Jones of the Mozel Sanders Foundation. "If someone still has the time and the need in their heart to give back, sign up."

Volunteers will assist with cooking and serving meals during two-hour shifts.

"If you are fortunate enough to be able to sit down at Thanksgiving dinner with your family and you don't have a care in the world, think of those who cannot," Jordan Jones stated.

This meal giveaway has been a cherished tradition in Indianapolis for over 50 years. Rev. Mozel Sanders once reflected on its humble beginnings: "We started off by feeding people on the corner on Thanksgiving Day that would not have food otherwise... It's about people who need help and those who don't know that other people need help until it's brought to their attention."

Rev. Mozel Sanders passed away in 1988.

The foundation invites anyone interested in volunteering to step forward and support this noble cause.
