Members of the Albright United Methodist Church in Bloomfield and volunteers from the Friends of Albright—a coalition of neighbors working to preserve the closed 110-year-old church building, Preservation Pittsburgh and the community spent Wednesday morning and afternoon preparing to serve around 200 meals of turkey and all of the fixings to area residents as part of Albright's 42nd annual free Thanksgiving Eve dinner.
