Former grocery store owner has fed thousands with free Thanksgiving dinner for 51 years

A former grocery store owner in Illinois has served thousands with a half-century of free Thanksgiving dinners.

All are welcome at “Mr. Thanksgiving’s” dinner table.

For more than 50 years, Bob Vogelbaugh, a former grocery store owner in Moline, Illinois, has made sure that his community is well fed on Thanksgiving Day.

“I did the turkey. My mom did side dishes for a number of years,” he said.

Every year, with the help of hundreds volunteers, Vogelbaugh hosts a free Thanksgiving dinner.
