Madaro Family Community Fund’s Thanksgiving Take Out Meals
The Fund will be continuing its annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27. There is one important change this year: to serve as many families as possible, meals will be take-out only (no in-person dining).
The
dinner will be held at the Salesian Boys & Girls Club, 150 Byron
St., Boston, and will start at 11a.m. Meals will be available on a
first-come basis. They include individually packaged turkey, gravy,
mashed and sweet potatoes, pumpkin or apple pie, cranberry sauce, bread
and butter and cheese and crackers. This event cannot support dietary
restrictions. madarocharity.org
Thanksgiving Senior Luncheon
The
Boston LesBiGay Urban Foundation is hosting their Thanksgiving Senior
Luncheon on Thanksgiving Day, noon to 3 p.m. The free luncheon will be
hosted at Lena Park Community Center on 150 American Legion Highway in
Dorchester. To attend or receive a delivered hot meal, sign up on their
website.
This year’s
luncheon will honor one of their beloved seniors, Ms. Valerie, who
received hot meals from the organization for years. As she often
recommended having a family-style dinner to make sure no one ate by
themselves, this event “aims to celebrate gratitude, connection and the
power of intergenerational community bonding.” lesbigayurbanfoundation.org

Jubilee Christian Church is hosting its Thanksgiving
dinner for the community on Thanksgiving Day from 1 to 3 p.m. at 1500
Blue Hill Ave., Mattapan. The church encourages community members to
