A Time For Community Sharing A Free Thanksgiving Dinner

Family gatherings for Thanksgiving dinners are being planned, but there are some people with no plans. The reasons may vary -- some travel to visit family for the day, and others may just not have the means for which to prepare a festive dinner. “This is where the idea for a free Community Thanksgiving Dinner came from”, says organizer, Dean’a Cook.

This is the second year for the dinner held on Thanksgiving Day at the Franklin-Monroe Schools in Pitsburg from 11:30 to 1:00pm. “Last year was a wonderful success”, says Cook. “Approximately 60 meals were served. It was great to see the community come together to share a delicious meal”, she added.

This year’s menu includes: ham, turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn, green beans, dinner rolls, fruit salad and dessert. It is a community effort, many of the local churches support this event with preparation of food, handing out fliers and serving  the dinner. Local business and organizations which have also contributed include: Meijer, Pitsburg Lions Club, Cooper Farms, Harvest Land, Farmer Browns, and Prairie Star Farms, LLC.

Please call Dean’a Cook at 937-621-7331 soon to make reservations for your family so we can prepare enough food for everyone to enjoy.  We know this will be a wonderful time to give thanks for friends, family and sharing in this community event.
