From Connecticut
Thanksgiving is just over a week away, and one local church will continue its tradition of providing a free Thanksgiving Day dinner.
St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, located next to the Naugatuck Green in the downtown, is hosting its seventh annual free dinner from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 24. The event is open to all in the community that wish to attend.
The fixins' include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, carrots, butternut squash and dinner rolls, as well an assortment of desserts.
Michelle Lineweber, church member, said The event fulfills two important needs in Naugatuck and the community:
“Many individuals and families cannot afford the daily essentials, or many not be in the financial position to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. This provides them with a hot, healthy meal,” Lineweber said in an email. “The dinner is also a place where those who don't have any family or friends can come to enjoy the holiday with others from the community, rather than being alone.”
