    Restaurant Celebrates Thanksgiving Day by Feeding the Poor

    By BarbRad  |  Posted November 26, 2009  |  Bentonville, Arkansas
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     BarbRad told me, 'With a volunteer staff and food donated by suppliers across NW Arkansas, they deliver meals to shut-ins and feed hungry people who are invited to come to the restaurant on Sundays and holidays, no questions asked.'
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    This Thanksgiving, World Garden Restaurant has turned into a soup kitchen where the poor are served at nice tables holding flower centerpieces. Approximately 500 people were served by volunteers from donated food that was cooked last night by volunteers.

     

    Rick and Cindy Boosey opened World Garden a year ago, in the deepest part of the recession. During the week, they serve salads, sandwiches, soups and exotic coffees. The Booseys close the restaurant every Sunday in order to serve as a soup kitchen for the poor.
