A soldier, his wife, and infant were in line with a handful of grocery items for their Thanksgiving meal.&nbsp; At the register, the family realized they were short of money and began to remove items from their cart. The person in line behind them offered to pay the $12 total for their groceries. In talking to the family, the good Samaritan learned that the soldier had just returned from deployment and was having trouble providing for his family due to some unexpected expenses. From that chance meeting, Holiday Meals for Military was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Helping at the Worcester Meal Packing Event<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/bobs-outreach?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=operationhomefront&amp;utm_content=secondphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/packingmeals.jpg\" alt=\"Volunteers help pack holiday meals for military families | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-2707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/packingmeals.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/packingmeals-300x282.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Volunteers help pack holiday meals for military families<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The day started off early with over 30 members of Bob\u2019s Home Office and Worcester store descended upon the Worcester Armory in Massachusetts to start assembling meal kits with other volunteer groups.
