The Salvation Army Eastern Territory is home to talented chefs, cooks, and food preparers. Whether it’s for a culinary class at a Kroc Center or a dinner at a corps hosted for a community, some delicious meals have been created in Salvation Army kitchens. This Thanksgiving season, we are happy to share some of these recipes with you.

Members of Joanne Small’s community lovingly gave her the title “Mother of the Kroc” because she was a warm, motherly soul with a love for people and boundless energy to help others, whether it be as a teacher, a caregiver or as a listening ear. Her expertly crafted nails and Air Jordan sneakers earned her the nickname “Ms. J.” There wasn’t a job at the Boston Kroc Center that Ms. J could not do, and there wasn’t a person in need who she could turn away.
