Thanksgiving Dinner - Help Needed!

Thursday, November 25th, 11am to 1pm

Our annual community Thanksgiving Dinner is back! For decades our parish has provided a place for people to gather and share a meal, especially if they don’t have anywhere else to go. This event is made possible through countless donations of food and time by our community. Consider supporting the event by making a donation of food or by volunteering (or both).

This year the dinner will take place in the main gymnasium to allow for better ventilation and distancing.

MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL GUESTS AND VOLUNTEERS.

DONATE OR VOLUNTEER
