Community Thanksgiving on Nov. 23

Organizers of a communitywide dinner on Thanksgiving Day are seeking volunteers and monetary donations. Community Thanksgiving will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 23. Event organizers plan to serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal, free of charge, to 500 people.

The Community Thanksgiving will be served at two Georgetown locations:

• Georgetown Community Center, 445 E. Morrow St.
• Georgetown Housing Authority – Community Activity Learning Center, 210-B W. 18th St.

A sit-down dinner, as well as boxed take-out meals, will be served at these locations.

Community Thanksgiving is being planned and supported by the City of Georgetown Police and Fire departments, Georgetown Public Library, Alycia Tandy’s Do Yourself a Flavor Catering, CJ’s Catering and The Salvation Army of Williamson County.

The menu for the dinner includes turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans, rolls, and sweet potatoes. Water and tea will be served.

This event is free and open to the public. There is no ticketing involved. Meals will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis at each location.

Monetary donations to help fund the event can be made to The Salvation Army of Williamson County, with “Community Thanksgiving” in the memo line on the check. Donations may be mailed to The Salvation Army of Williamson County, 1930 S. Austin Ave., Ste. 101, Georgetown, TX, 78626.
