Still, he said generosity has helped. There was enough to go around Thursday.“I had two packages of ramen noodles left. So, this was really great. My mom used to come to church here,” D’Anza said. “I looked up at the newspaper and am like, I’ve got enough gas to get me over here.
D’Anza told NBC 5, he has been living out of his car. For him, good company Thursday made the experience special. “Everybody, they just…'me, me, me…my, my, my'…nowadays, it’s nice to see someone live with a good heart and good spirit,” he said. Many volunteers Thursday are also church members. John Hamon helped prepare the turkey and other meats.
“We come back and volunteer every year, because of these people that are here. We’ll be back doing the same thing,” Hamon said.
