Phantoms players and team mascot Sparky were at the Salvation Army location at 1501 Glenwood Ave. from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. the day before Thanksgiving to help the world-renowned service organization provide dinners to local residents.
“We are fortunate to be home for the holidays this year,” said Phantoms Director of Community Relations Kelly Carroll. “We all know how important it is to celebrate Thanksgiving, so this was an opportunity to help give back to the community and at the same time enjoy Thanksgiving with those who otherwise wouldn’t get to have it.”
The Salvation Army, founded in 1865, has a presence in 116 countries around the globe and continues on its mission to assist those who are homeless, abused or disadvantaged. For additional information on the Salvation Army, both worldwide and in the local area, visit www.salvationarmy.org.
