The holidays are often a time of family and celebration, revelry, and food. Unfortunately, for some, that is not always the case. For those that live alone, the holidays can be a very trying time.

Fortunately, one Evansville, Indiana neighborhood will be serving a community Thanksgiving meal, and it is free to attend. Not only that, but it is open to anyone and everyone!

It's All About Sharing a Meal as a Community

Organizers say this is not about who you are, where you live, or how much money you have but rather to celebrate coming together as a community to share a meal.

We are thankful for each one of you — and in return want to invite you to spend Thanksgiving with us! Our FREE buffet is for anyone in our community who is looking for a place to enjoy the holiday! This awesome event is made possible by generous local businesses and volunteers

Volunteers Needed

The meal will be served by volunteers and there are still some available volunteer spots if you are interested in giving your time to a wonderful event. To sign up as a volunteer, you can visit their Sign Up Genius page.
