For those needing a cooked meal on Thanksgiving dayCommunity Kitchen will serve Thanksgiving dinner from 3-6pm (one hour longer than normal service) on Thanksgiving Day. Anyone is welcome to join us for a traditional holiday meal of turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry ambrosia, hot buttered rolls and pie. No questions asked.
In conjunction with the Hoosier Hills Food Bank, we will also hand out bags of groceries during that same service time.
If you are homebound, over 60 and need a meal delivered to your home, please call Suzanne Donelly at Area 10 Agency on Aging at 812-876-3383 ext 553.
