You will once again find the Sturgeon Bay United Methodist Church spreading holiday cheer this Thanksgiving by hosting their 46th free community dinner on Thanksgiving Day, beginning at 4 p.m.  The annual event welcomes residents to come together, share a meal, and celebrate the season.

The dinner offers both dine-in and delivery options to accommodate everyone in the community. Guests are invited to enjoy the festive meal in the church’s Fellowship Hall., where volunteers will serve traditional Thanksgiving dishes in a warm and welcoming setting. For those who are homebound or unable to travel, the church provides meal delivery, ensuring that no one in the community goes without a holiday meal.  Delivery for homebound individuals is available starting at 3 p.m. with a 4 meal maximum.

While the dinner is free of charge, the church gladly accepts donations to support the program and help continue this annual tradition.  All contributions go toward making sure the event can reach as many people as possible.

For those in Kewaunee County, St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Algoma will be hosting their own free Thanksgiving meal from 10:30 a.m. until noon. Pastor Joel McKenney said earlier this month that the event keeps growing every year and that it has become a special day for people dining and volunteering alike.
