Thanksgiving meals and deliveries will look a little different this year in West Orange County.

• In keeping with a 15-year tradition, the George and Tera Grimes families will again serve Thanksgiving dinner at the West Orange Christian Service Center, 300 W. Franklin St., Ocoee. The traditional meal is free to the public and will be handed out in a grab-and-go format from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 26.

• Southeastern Food Bank is doing its Thanksgiving food distribution differently this year, too. Drivers are needed to deliver pre-packed boxes to families in West Orange County starting at 8 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 26. Food For Families boxes can be picked up at West Orange Baptist Church, 1006 East Crown Point Road, Ocoee.
