Many of us are aware of church communities and other social service organizations that provide Thanksgiving dinners to those in the community. The focus may be on those in need and/or it may be on providing an opportunity to gather for a meal so that one does not need to be alone on the holiday.
One organization that provided such a meal yesterday was the Quinebaug Volunteer Fire Department in Thompson, CT. The department served over 100 people at the fire station (Dessert treats were provided by the Quinebaug Veterans of Foreign Wars post [Post 10088, Thompson Memorial Post] and the Quinebaug Seventh-day Adventist Church.)
