Five Places Serving Meals for the Needy this Thanksgiving
A list of local churches and shelters offering free dinners throughout the week for those less fortunate this holiday season.
Thanksgiving is a holiday whose traditions center around sitting down to share a meal with friends and family. With a turkey or ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin or apple pie, the costs of purchasing supplies for Thanksgiving dinner quickly add up.
