Volunteers Derek Storrs, Marcus Cline, Jamen Nelson and Katie Storrs assemble traditional Thanksgiving dinners at the Salvation Army in Salt Lake City on Thursday. Thanksgiving looked a little different for many Salt Lake County residents who, along with the rest of the state, were asked to keep to themselves this year. While gathering together is temporarily halted due to the pandemic, the meals still rolled in for nearly 3,200 families. Volunteers with the Salvation Army assembled approximately 800 traditional dinners, with food also provided through various community donations. More volunteers worked to safely deliver turkey and all the fixings, resulting in many grateful hearts and full stomachs.
