This Thursday, shelters, churches and charities alike will do their absolute best to feed Oklahoma City’s impoverished, homeless and working poor. Hungry folks in need of nourishment, both physical and spiritual, will like up to enjoy a plate of traditional Thanksgiving eats, made by many hard-working volunteers who blessedly gave up their own wants to help those who don’t have what they need.
One such volunteer is Heather Popowsky. She’s working overtime at the Culinary Kitchen, 7222 n. Western Ave., cooking up about 150—maybe more—premium turkeys for the Homeless Alliance and Turning the Table on Hunger’s annual Turkey Tango event the next couple of days. To hear Popowsky describe it, she’s truly a woman after my own heart (and stomach).
