The Salvation Army planned to serve up to a thousand turkey dinners Thursday at its Center of Hope in downtown Tulsa, helping to brighten the Thanksgiving holiday for the homeless or families on hard times.

"It's just a real joy to be able to greet people as they come in the door and wish 'em a Happy Thanksgiving and just see the sparkle in their eyes as they're told you're gonna come in and have a seat and we're serving you today, and just to do something special for 'em," said Major Jim Taylor.
