Hundreds of Edmonton residents spent their Thanksgiving in a laundromat on Monday but they were feasting instead of folding.

The Milbourne Maytag 'Just Like Home' Laundromat served up its traditional turkey supper.

Shirley Tripp owns the laundromat and, with the help of family and friends, cooks and serves the meal. She says anyone who is hungry or lonely is welcome to stop by.

Tripp says she has everything she needs and this is her way of giving something back to the community.

"I think the best thing about doing all this is how you feel inside," says Tripp. "You just feel really good."
