CINCINNATI — In the middle of a frigid Thanksgiving morning Thursday, hundreds sought warmth and a warm welcome inside Over-The-Rhine's Our Daily Bread soup kitchen.

Around 20 volunteers gave their time and talents this holiday to make a stranger's day that much better. In total, 399 guests arrived between 8:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. to receive meals and company.

"There's just a special lightness in the air when there's a holiday. And just keeping it fun, keeping it what people are used to when they see us and they come every day, and then just making sure those food's extra special today," Georgine Getty, Our Daily Bread executive director, said.
