Volunteers passed out Thanksgiving pies and gift cards to seniors living on a fixed income in Fifth Ward.
The average cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people is now $64.05, up from $53.31 last year, and $46.90 in 2020.
ABC13 stopped by the JW Peavy Senior Center in Houston's Fifth Ward, where volunteers passed out Thanksgiving pies and gift cards."You know, it's like playing Tic-Tac-Toe, it's like, 'Must I get this or must I get that?'" Pastor Glenda Smith explained. "Thanksgiving is having a grateful heart, having a heart to look at more than just yourself."
"I lost my husband in 2018. My son had a stroke in 2019. I'm a breast cancer survivor, 12 years of that," Jewel Smith explained. "It's just really been a time for going through with me and I've finally gotten to the place where I've had a little bit of peace."
