Some people may be counting down the days to fill up multiple plates on Thanksgiving, while others may be happy to just receive one.

Six police departments on the Gulf Coast are teaming up to help the less fortunate on Thanksgiving. Each station is in charge of a different task when it comes to organization, cooking, finances, etc.

This program has been helping those in need for 33 years, feeding about 1,200 people for the holiday.

Monetary donations for food and volunteers to help deliver are needed.

If you or someone you know is interested in receiving a plate, please…
