(Deidre Williams – Buffalo News – 11/25/2010) Everyone had a specific job Wednesday as the Response to Love Center on Buffalo’s East side prepared for Thanksgiving dinner.
The maintenance team did the heavy lifting and moved the boxes.
Another group set up the decorations and table settings for hundreds of expected guests.
And the carving party — mostly men — sliced up 49 turkeys.
About 80 volunteers from the neighborhood and beyond helped out Wednesday with the sixth annual “Turkey Carving Day,” set aside to prepare the turkey and many of the trimmings the day before Thanksgiving.
“We get the whole community involved. It’s a community event,” said Sister Mary Johnice Rzadkiewicz, the center’s longtime director.
