ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Volunteers are responding to an increase in need as they prepare meals for families this Thanksgiving.
Volunteers for Christian Outreach came together at the Johnsonville Tailgate Village Tuesday to prepare 3,000 meals. That’s 1,000 more than they normally serve.

Previously, Lambeau Field hosted Christian Outreach’s Annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Dinner, but the meals will be delivered this year.
“I was able to deliver some meals last year,” said Jessica Zeitler, president of Christian Outreach Ecumenical Thanksgiving Ministry. “I had never delivered meals because I had been busy in other ways. The thankfulness and the smile on their face just melts your heart, and it just reminds us why we do what we do. We give up part of our holiday to help those in our area.”
The meals will be delivered throughout Brown County on Thanksgiving Day.
