St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will once again conduct its annual holiday meal outreach, a long-standing ministry rooted in service and compassion.
The outreach extends hospitality to neighbors who may need assistance during the holiday season.
This year, St. Luke’s will provide meals for approximately 400 people through its continued partnership with St. Vincent de Paul. Meals will be delivered to various housing facilities, with parishioners providing full pans of food.
There are no limitations on the types of food for the holiday meal. Organizers encourage home-cooked dishes such as baked turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes and green beans.
Monetary donations are also accepted.
Sign-up sheets are available at the back of the church, and monetary gifts may be placed in the envelope on the table.
Food donations may be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Drivers can pull through the front driveway, where volunteers will meet them at their cars.
