WAUKESHA, Wis. - The Waukesha Salvation Army is talking turkey. Volunteers are hard at work making sure people in need are fed and warm this holiday. 

FOX6 News got a peek inside the Salvation Army's kitchen on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Leaders say they expect to hand out 60 turkeys over the next two days.

"When we think about the people’s lives that the meals are going to impact – to me, that’s like cooking with love. There’s a little bit more of a purpose behind it," said Katie Teran, Mean Program Coordinator.

The Waukesha location also has a 32-bed mens shelter.
