Volunteers are serving smiles along with holiday meals to military veterans in North Texas.
VetsGiving is a relatively new nonprofit. Formed three years ago, the group dedicates efforts to helping men and women who currently serve or have retired from the military.
Texas Army National Guardsman Youssef Badawi is excited he’ll have a homecooked feast on Thanksgiving.
“I don’t even remember the last time I was able to cook Thanksgiving,” he said. “Last year, I was deployed over in the Middle East.”

The nonprofit has already made a huge impact by providing Thanksgiving meals for dozens of veterans in North Texas and Amarillo.
Badawi recalls being in the Middle East for the last holiday.
