Meals will be available to those experiencing homelessness or anyone who needs a place to spend the holiday, officials said. Meal service will begin at 10 a.m. at 15 NW Third Avenue.

“I’m thankful for our generous donors and businesses that make all the meals possible during Thanksgiving and throughout the year,” said Lori Quinney, Food Service Director

Mission officials say the meal will include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, tropical fruit salad, a dinner roll, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Guests will be able to dine in or take the meal to go and will also get a snack for later in the day.
