Join the East Ridge Community for a Heartwarming Thanksgiving Celebration!
As the season of gratitude approaches, the lovely city of East Ridge is gearing up for its second annual Community Thanksgiving, a delightful event that promises to bring neighbors together over good food and great company. On Tuesday, November 26, from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM, the doors of the East Ridge Community Center, located at 1515 Tombras Avenue, will open to welcome everyone.
A Generous Invitation
The best part? This wonderful Thanksgiving meal is free for all who wish to attend! Whether you’re a resident of East Ridge or just passing through, everyone is invited to join in on the festivities. “You do not have to be an East Ridge resident, and you can come alone or bring the whole family,” Hannah Spear, the Community Center Supervisor, shared. “We want this meal to be a true representation of the diverse community we are so lucky to be a part of and a time for us to get to know our neighbors.”
Pre-Registration: Don’t Miss Out!
While the meal is complimentary, pre-registration is highly recommended. It will close on November 15, or earlier if they reach full capacity. To register, simply scan the QR code found on the official East Ridge Community Thanksgiving flyer. It’s a quick and easy way to ensure your spot at this heartwarming gathering.
Calling All Volunteers!
In the spirit of community and giving, the City of East Ridge is also seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help with the event. If you’re interested in assisting with set-up, serving meals, cleaning up, or breaking down, signing up is a breeze! The volunteer flyer also features a QR code for easy registration. “The idea behind this event is to bring the community together during the season of giving,” said Cameron McAllister, Administrator of East Ridge Economic and Community Development. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to our community, and we want you to join us!”
