Reporter as members of the National Guard secured the Ferguson Police department with weapons at their sides, protesters braved the snow armed with signs and flags. [ no audio ] reporter rating traffic disruptions but the scene was a far cry from the destruction and chaos of the first two nights after the grand jury decided not to indict ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in browns death. It should definitely be peaceful but at the same time the rioting and looting is also a necessary evil. Its brought awareness and attention. Reporter here in ferguson, demonstrations were mostly peaceful overnight with only small protests. Police and the National Guard prevented major flairups but demonstrations continue to spill over into other rnia, protesters ran through the street and smashed windows last night. People laid in the streets in los angeles and officers arrested protesters who refused to disperse. One of us has been harmed and therefore all of us has been harmed. Reporter back in ferguson, some are giving thanks to the situation in their community is more peaceful. Frank roberts came from new york giving up his thanksgiving to support ferguson and the brown family. Today is a tribute to them. Thats what i see all the young protesters who are down here today. Reporter many protesters say they will be here as long as it takes to get justice. Susan mcginnis, cbs news, ferguson, missouri. Food, football, spending time with family and friends, those are the things that come to mind when we think of thanksgiving. But the reality is for a number of our neighbors those things arent a reality. Several organizations today are working to ensure less fortunate people are able to enjoy this holiday. Delia goncalves is live at food and friends over on riggs road in northeast d. C. With more. You still have the sleeves rolled up over there going to work . Sleeves are rolled up but hair net is off this time. Well talk with the executive chef who can really tell us about all the hard work it takes to get to this point. I know that obviously this is a year round event. It is. Reporter food is going out to folks to the only on thanksgiving but every single day of the year when its probably most important when the holidays arent approaching, every other day, every normal day is really important. For sure. As you said, this is we do this year round but this thanksgiving day is always special for us. A lot of preparation is involved. We just have the best volunteers here. The whole Community Helps us out, coming in, helping us prepare the turkeys and getting all the sides ready for that. Reporter you started on sunday. We d. Really we started about 364 days ago mentally preparing for it. Reporter this is a big day, a big undertaking. It takes a lot of people to pull this all off. Absolutely, yes. So we have its really a full staff effort. We have a great kitchen and groceries team that really helps to make this happen. And its just a lot of fun and a way for us to provide a meal for our clients for them to have loved ones to their home, to host a thanksgiving, which is something that they probably dont get to do a chance very often. Reporter we were here last year. I was telling folks that i got even a little emotional because theres a moment when the drivers finish their orientation and walk down here and all the volunteers just break out in applause and thank them for the work that theyre doing. Its definitely a good part and it gives you goose bumps. Its just a great feeling. Its bigger than any of us put together individually. Everybody loves it. Reporter what do you get out of this . I know its hard, hard work. What do you get out of it . I get a lot out of it. Maybe worlds dont describe it. Its just very rewarding. Again, its bigger than me or anybody else. Its just a good feeling knowing that, you know, if you take a step back and really look at it, for us to do this and for clients to be able to have it at home, enjoying this meal when the rest of the world maybe is sitting in the comfort of their home, they can do the same thing. Reporter thank you so much, mark. I appreciate it and all your hard work and all the hard work of all the volunteers. They could not pull this off without these volunteers. [ cheers and applause ] reporter 3500 folks in d. C. , maryland and virginia are going to get thanksgiving today because of them. Back to you. Cheers and applause from all of us. Its 7 after the hour. For many of you watching the macys thanksgiving day parade [ no audio ] every year new yorkers flock to the Upper West Side to watch the big balloons being inflated. I just wanted to really see them blow up. Theres different balloons every year. So it makes, you know, like you want to come back next year and see what other balloons they have. Six new balloons will take to the sky this thanksgiving, including e popular locomotive thomas the tank engine. That should be really neat. Thomas is 47 feet tall and needs 75 handlers just to get him down the avenue. Today is a day to spend with family and friends. While most of you may be thinking shopping and football. You dont have to stay on the couch. Nikki burdine joins us with a look at what else you could be doing. Plenty to sort through. Maybe a nap or two in there. I dont know. Cant get enough naps and food these days. If you want to get off the couch, here are a few ideas. Reporter if you have family in town or just lucky and have the day off, take a trip to see the seasons greetings exhibit at the botanical. You can see gorgeous displays and replicas of d. C. Trademarks mailed of plant terms. You can get into the holiday spirit by giving back. The trot for hunger benefiting some so others may eat starts the 8 30 at west potomac park. The turkey chase in bethesda is a fun run or race. You can make a donation to the the capital area food bank. Their programs deliver thanksgiving meals to the needy and Senior Citizens and you can even help deliver those meals and see the people you are helping directly. The black cat concert venue is opening up a new game room with pinball machines and arcade games. What a better way to work off the turkey than playing a little bit of pinball, guys. Doesnt that sound like fun . It does sound like fun. What are you doing later this morning . The turkey trot, 11,000 of my closest friends are going to hit the streets by the capitol. The 5k. Well be cheering you on. Pop quiz, though. What are you thankful for . For my wusa9 team. And family and health. Amen. Were good to go. There it is. Not going to leave you hanging. Lets take another look at whats going on. Many of us are enjoying not really a white thanksgiving although snow is in some of our yards. But all out snow clearing operations are under way in some spots. Well have more on that coming up. 6 12. We have mostly cloudy skies out here this morning in washington. While its not too cold here, we have some areas that are below freezing, a few slick spots and in the Shenandoah Valley and mountains, some fog. Fredricksburg south, you have a chance for a passing shower here during the day. Highs 40 to 45. Ill be back in about 5 minutes looking as always for the upcoming weekend forecast. Trenice bishop, whats happening this morning . Reporter we have a few accidents to report. A new one southbound in Prince Georges County near maryland 200, it will be near the intercounty connector.

No reports of any issues there making your way through gainesville, maybe headed for front royal. I can show you where the accident is on 95 in the laurel area. Again thats going to be off to the right side of the roadway. Shouldnt impact true much if youre making your way towards the capital beltway. Thanks, trenice. Things are pretty calm on the roads in the immediate d. C. Area this morning after our burst of snow. Well take that. But refreeze is a bigger concern in our far northern and western suburbs. A mixture of rain, sleet and snow fell in Frederick County for one yesterday coating i75 and 270 in maryland. That spells trouble. A driver taking her family from florida to her mothers house in cumberland saw a car wipe out right in front of them. The car hydroplaned across the road and almost flipped. We smelled burnt tires and saw the car coming and into the ditch. Luckily the kids didnt see it. That was a good thing. In fact the kids from florida, they got to have some fun throwing the snowballs around. Workers on the other hand, they had to continually shovel sidewalks to keep them passible at that rest stop as road crews did the same on the highway. Have vdot so the and sand vdot salt and sand trucks are still on the road. State road crews want to make sure the roads are cleared and are safe for travelers. Were concerned about freeze back. Well be working through the night, especially the main lines, route 7, route 15, interstates. Some drivers near leesburg admitted they thought the snow had missed us when they woke up to rain yesterday but by mid morning, they found out otherwise as of course it did change over to snow in a hurry. Heres another look at the question of the morning. According to a recent survey, the average parent think 12 is the perfect age for their child to do this.

At thanksgiving we are all together and a friendly frugal reminder that televisions which are best purchased in store, appliances best deals online, and anything gaming related good in store and online are great buys on black friday.

Some of you can look outside and see snow left on the ground but most of you arent even know the drill. Today is all about food, family and football. It is not about snow, ; isnt that right . No, no more snow headed our way. Im already seeing a couple of snow flakes leftover from yesterday. If they were on your car last night, they are still on your car this morning. Probably need the scraper before you head out to grandmas house today. Lets take a look at the temperatures. Its you definitely want to bundle up. If youre catching outside, do you have the extra layers. 34 in arlington. 34 rockville. It is going to be a nice day, a good thanksgiving day.

I know you dont want to take the credit because it takes a lot of people but youve been here 20 years. It started out in a church basement. Westminster church. I dont deserve the credit. Its the 10,000 volunteers each year, the 1300 volunteers this week and the 51 other staff that make this happen. Reporter as we take a look at some of the hard work theyre doing behind us, lets talk about what the volunteers do and what food and friends does year round because thats whats most important, the year round work that you provide. Thats right. Today were focused on thanksgiving but we do this work and need volunteers six days a week, 52 weeks a year. When the weather turns cold and its icy and snow, 100 degrees, we still need volunteers. What we would like would be for people who dedicate a day of service on thanksgiving to take another day when its about 20 degrees and theres some snow on the ground. When theyre really happy to see you at the door with that meal. Talk about the Pilot Program offering help to diabetes patients.
