Siri Hedreen / The Outlook Benjamin Russell senior Onaje Brooks hands out dessert to go.

Alexander City’s annual Thanksgiving church outreach meal looked a little different on Thursday — turkey dinners usually served in the Benjamin Russell cafeteria were handed out in foam takeout boxes.

The annual volunteer event is run by a group of local churches called The Bridge to provide full Thanksgiving meals for those who may be unable to afford it. Meals are available to anyone who turns up.
