EL PASO, Texas ( KTSM ) — Rollin’ Smoke BBQ is assisting the Salvation Army of El Paso by smoking 80 turkeys that will be used to feed the less fortunate on Thanksgiving.
The well-known Anthony, Texas, barbecue joint will be smoking turkeys from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 200 S. Main St. in Anthony.
The turkeys will be served during the Salvation Army’s community meal on Nov. 28 at the Red Shield Family Center located at 4300 E Paisano Drive.
According to the news release by the Salvation Army, Rollin’ Smoke BBQ is preparing and cooking 80 turkeys to feed over 1,000 people during Salvation Army’s annual community meal.
Once the turkeys are smoked, they will be transported back to The Salvation Army, where volunteers will shred the meat and place it in trays to be frozen until Thanksgiving Day.
“When I heard about the need, I knew I wanted to help,” Jesus Carrasco, owner of Rollin’ Smoke BBQ, said. “Our smoker can handle upwards of 120 turkeys at once, so we’re happy to lend a hand and make sure each turkey is perfectly prepared.”
