CLEVELAND — EDITOR'S NOTE: The video in the player above is from a previous story.

Catholic Charities Emergency Assistance Services in the Diocese of Cleveland is in critical need of volunteers to help with this year's Thanksgiving meals.

The organization is asking for people to help at one of four sites on Nov. 13 to help prepare the holiday meals. The sites are:

  • St.  Augustine Hunger Center in Tremont
  • Bishop Cosgrove Center in Cleveland
  • Camp Christopher in Bath
  • St. Martin de Porres Family Center in Cleveland

Shifts for the four sites are 9 a.m.-noon, noon-3 p.m., and 3-5 p.m. The final two-hour shift will be primarily clean-up and possibly transporting cooked, deboned turkeys back to St. Augustine Hunter Center.

The meal prep is a great volunteer opportunity for families and small groups to participate in. All age groups are welcome!
