Community Dinner

November's Dinner is THANKSGIVING! Donations Needed: Community Dinner Committee is looking for donations of cooked turkeys, hams, vegetarian options, and all the fixings to accompany the meal. Please bring turkey or ham already sliced. We would also greatly appreciate your delicious pies and other desserts, whether you bake them yourself or purchase them from the store. For those interested, we recommend Lidl, a grocery store at 490 Fulton St that regularly discounts their goods and seems to be doing so for turkeys, as a good option from which to purchase donations.

Please contact august.magiera.guy@gmail.com or reply to this form linked here so we may plan our meal accordingly. Your generosity will make this event special for everyone. Thank you so much!

Volunteers: The Community Dinner Committee is also requesting volunteers for Sunday, 11/30. There are a variety of activities that volunteers might be expected to do. These might include: setting up tables, assisting in cooking as well as food and beverage preparation, welcoming and serving guests meals and refreshments, bussing tables, and assisting with produce and clothing distribution. We want to provide our guests with a warm and inviting environment for the holidays as we serve a Thanksgiving themed meal. We plan on serving dinner at 2pm, so volunteers should arrive by 1:00. Any volunteers interested who are under the age of 12 should arrive with a parent or guardian. Volunteers are encouraged to email the Co-clerks of Community Dinner, Michelle Dodson and August Guy at august.magiera.guy@gmail.com and michellepdodson@gmail.com if they have any questions. Those interested should RSVP here. 

Clothing Donations: This winter, the Community Dinner committee is hosting a coat drive for the benefit of our guests. Please put donations in the labeled boxes at the end of the downstairs hallway. Other gently used clothing donated for the Community Dinners is always appreciated.

Due to limited storage space for donations, we kindly ask that you limit your contributions to two bags. Please drop off your donations during co-working hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays or on Sundays. Place the bags only on the two shelves labeled “Community Dinner” in the designated closet in the basement. 

Thank you again for your support!
