Salvation Army distributes meals to families in need ahead of Easter weekend

The Salvation Army is feeding a need for this Easter season.

The organization’s Miami branch hosted a special meal distribution, Thursday morning.

Volunteers worked together to prepare meals and grocery boxes to hand out to individuals and families in need.

“What we’re helping is a full meal for Easter. We have chickens, potatoes, canned foods, even dessert for them. It’s everything that they need, all the components, for a good, substantial Easter meal,” said Salvation Army Miami Commander Major Rebecca Hogg.

Thursday’s distribution is part of a nationwide effort to ensure more families can come together and have a meaningful holiday meal during the spring season.
