Honey, we got pigs\' feet and rice, chickens\' feet and rice, oxtails and rice. And a lot of folks say, Imagene, I don\'t understand, you\'re not supposed to be eating pork. Well... that\'s the only reason you\'re living today because your mama and daddy gave you pork years and years ago, but now we have all graduated and have arrived, if you will.\"  9.

SOUNDBITE (English) Volunteer: \"I feel like volunteering because you can always do something for your community, whether it be cleaning up or serving the homeless and things like this. I\'m coming out for my birthday, and I just want to show that I\'m thankful for me being able to serve people less fortunate than me because they don\'t have the opportunity to have nice clothes or have a meal.\" 11.

Wide shot from above of scene  STORYLINE:  It\'s been a Thanksgiving Day tradition in Washington for more than 30 years, with up to 3,000 of the city\'s neediest residents getting a free Thanksgiving meal at a shelter known as The House of Imagene.  Founded by Bishop Imagene Stewart, the 63-year-old woman considered giving up organising the annual holiday feast after she was diagnosed with cancer.     But she says she decided to continue after receiving a call from Liz Cheney, the daughter of US Vice President Dick Cheney, encouraging her to go on. She\'s also getting some help from community volunteers.  This year marks the 33rd year Stewart has offered the holiday meals to the city\'s homeless.
