Church Thanks Local Inmates, Dishes Out Surprise Thanksgiving Meal

MANNINGTON TWP. -- A dish of brotherly love and gratitude was served up by a South Jersey congregation Wednesday during an early Thanksgiving lunch for local inmates.

The savory meal surprised four Salem County Correctional Facility inmates -- or as members of New Jerusalem Aump Church say, "brothers" -- as they dined with religious leaders who opened up their doors for an afternoon of smiles and full bellies.

For years now through the Salem County Sheriff's Department, inmates of the correctional facility have gone out into the community to help non-profit groups with building maintenance, repairs, cleaning, or painting, to name a few.
