Lankford's Christmas gift benefits his Pascagoula friends

Posted: Updated:
PASCAGOULA, MS (WLOX) -

He's 60-years-old, but feels so much younger than that, especially when he's volunteering his time at Our Daily Bread in Pascagoula. 

Ray Lankford has been a soup kitchen volunteer for half his life. Six days a week, every week, you'll find him at Our Daily Bread. Christmas morning was no different.

Ray says he is doing God's work at the soup kitchen and has no plans on stopping. But Ray is also quick to credit the other volunteers who staff the kitchen, which feeds hundreds of people every week.

Doug Walker sat down and talked with Ray today about his special mission. Watch for more on this heartwarming Christmas story tonight on WLOX News and on WLOX.com.
