The annual CommUnity Thanksgiving meal may not be happening this year, but that does not mean a warm dinner will not be served to those in need in the community. Many local churches have stepped up to the plate to meet the needs of those in the area.
“We thank the CommUnity Thanksgiving team that has spearheaded this awesome event for the past few years,” said Pastor Willie Simmons of New Liberty Tabernacle of Praise Church. “Their final year was 2024 and what a year it was, serving almost 11,000 dinners. This year the Body of Christ is working together to provide Thanksgiving meals to those in need at various sites.”
