HI, H.. We help at Mission Arlington. You do not "serve" in a soup kitchen; however, they need families to go out and deliver an entire Thanksgiving meal. You can just show up on Thanksgiving day at 7:00a.m. It is very, very busy but organized. We started helping two years ago, we really wanted to "serve" in a kitchen but found out this too is a ministry. My son was 17 when we started and still looks forward to passing out meals to families in our area.
Have a great Thanksgiving and hope you will be able to make it to mission arlington!
