ATLANTIC CITY — Silver racks filled with dozens of cooked turkeys lined the floor of a kitchen inside the Atlantic City Convention Center as scores of volunteers in aprons scurried around slicing ham and stirring vats of broth.
It’s
two days before Thanksgiving, and casino chefs from across the city
have teamed up to prep more than 2,500 meals for hundreds of the city’s
homeless and needy for the fifth year in a row.
In the back of the kitchen, 51-year-old Sherry Massaro scrubbed grime and leftover food off dozens of pots and pans, scrambling to keep up with the volume of dirty dishes.

A table game dealer at Hard
Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, Massaro and her co-worker Teri
Bastian arrived at the convention center at 9 a.m. to volunteer on their
day off.
“I have a newfound
respect for food service workers because now I know what they do behind
the scenes,” said Bastian, of Sweetwater in Mullica Township.
