It started a few years ago as a small gesture of goodwill wanting to give back to those less fortunate residents of Muskogee. A free, no questions asked, meal to anyone who shows up on Thankgiving Day or delivered to shut-in residents will be provided thanks to the owners, staff and a small army of dedicated volunteers and donors who come back year after year, said Russell Pratt.
"We fed about 800 last year, and it has grown every year," said Pratt, owner of Runt's. He's not sure how many meals will be served this Thursday, but he knows the need is great in the community.
"This was a dream of my wife Kathey and mine to give back," he said. "It's just snowballed each year. We had no idea what it would turn into"

"Runt's, a popular but small joint with just 88 seats, cooks up some excellent pork spare ribs over their wood fires. "I'll put my rubs up against anyone's," Pratt says.
