A pandemic will not stop Algoma's St. Paul’s Lutheran Church from turning its Thanksgiving Dinner into a tradition. Last year was the first year the church hosted the community for the free meal, serving approximately 70 people. Pastor Joel McKenney says they had visitors attend that they have never met before and had volunteers that have never been able to help out before.

The dinner will still be held this year, albeit from socially distanced tables at church or in the comfort of people’s homes thanks to curbside pick-up or delivery.  McKenney hopes they are able to fill a void for people who may not be able to see their loved ones for the holidays.

You can contact the church to pre-order your meal, which will be available on Thanksgiving Day from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
