CARNEGIE, Pa., Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It is the Thanksgiving that almost was not. For nearly 20 years, hundreds of families in need across Allegheny County have enjoyed a hot, home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner at their local Salvation Army Worship and Service Center. This year, when donor resources dried up, the community dinners were almost cancelled. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110412/MM81995LOGO) Thanks to the generosity of Bottom Dollar Food, the Thanksgiving dinners are back on and scheduled as planned.
