Dallas –
This Thanksgiving numerous churches and social service groups will celebrate the holiday by cooking for others who are less fortunate. Few do it with a more personal, loving touch than the employees and volunteers at an Oak Cliff restaurant that opens its doors to anyone who wants to enjoy the feast. KERA's Shelley Kofler takes us to Norma's Cafe for the story of how this tradition has grown. (Click MP3 link above to hear the story.)
