Hope Ministries held its annual Christmas meal today.
For the 15th year, those in need got a warm meal.
Guests enjoyed ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls and Christmas cookies.
We spoke with a volunteer who was happy to share his passion of cooking with the community.

"I have a passion for cooking and I'm blessed to share my gift with some of the people in the residence and in the neighborhood," said Hope Ministries Supervisor Robert Pitts.

Hope Ministries served over 300 meals today.
