Mozel Sanders foundation prepares Thanksgiving meals INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Volunteers for the Mozel Sanders Foundation‘s annual Thanksgiving dinner event are packing up boxes and getting the food ready for the community. It’s an assembly line of generosity at P30, a co-working space and one of the kitchens the organization is using, as dozens of volunteers are packing containers, cooking, and plating 500 meals. All to make sure that no one in Indianapolis goes hungry this Thanksgiving. “We’re cooking the dressing, we’re cooking some green beans, and we’re also cooking some chicken,” said Stephen Sanders, CEO of the Mozel Sanders Foundation. The Mozel Sanders Foundation has served meals for over 50 years, and they’re on track to feed 10,000 people across central Indiana. Sanders said no more volunteers at the kitchen or satellite locations are needed.“Thank you Indiana, we are full,” Sanders said. “You guys always show up and show out for us, and we are excited for tomorrow.” Secretary of State Diego Morales joined volunteers at P30 to help kick off the preparations. Morales also volunteered last year. “I’m so proud of the work that Mozel Sanders do every year,” Morales said. “Last year, I was so honored to be cooking and trying make sure that we can get all of the meals ready for Thanksgiving. This year, we’re excited to be back.” As Morales sees it, Thanksgiving is a time for the community to appreciate each other and take the time to give back.“Here, when we celebrate for us, it’s a time to reflect to pause and give thanks to all the blessings that we get,” Morales said. Starting 9 a.m. Thursday, people can pick up their meals at one of the 17 satellite locations. Those whop prefer to sit down and enjoy their meal can go to Tabernacle Presbyterian Church on East 34th Street. “Come at 10 and 12, or between 10 and 12,” Sanders said.
