Ah, Thanksgiving! A time for gathering around the dinner table, sharing delicious food, and reflecting on the good things life has to offer. This year, the wonderful city of East Ridge is embracing the spirit of gratitude by hosting its second annual Community Thanksgiving meal and inviting everyone to join in this heartfelt celebration.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 26, because from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM, the East Ridge Community Center at 1515 Tombras Avenue will transform into a hub of warmth, laughter, and connection. This fabulous event is completely free, and you don’t even need to be a resident of East Ridge to attend! Whether you’re popping in solo or bringing along the whole family, everyone is welcome.
Hannah Spear, the Community Center Supervisor, emphasizes, “We want this meal to be a true representation of the diverse community we have the pleasure of being a part of and a time where we can get to know our neighbors.” It’s all about togetherness, and this Thanksgiving celebration aims to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for all.
While you can enjoy all the festivities for free, it’s crucial that you pre-register for the meal. Signing up is highly recommended to ensure your spot, as the registration period will only remain open until November 15 or until the event reaches full capacity. You can easily sign up via an online form.
Cameron McAllister, the Administrator of East Ridge Economic and Community Development, shares the vision behind this event, stating, “The idea behind this event is to bring the community together during the season of giving.” This is a beautiful opportunity to connect, laugh, and share in a spirit of thankfulness. So, grab your friends and family and make plans to be a part of this wonderful gathering.
For those wanting more information, the City of East Ridge is engaging with the community through their official social media platforms. You can get updates and keep an eye out for any announcements on Facebook.
Thanksgiving is about more than just turkey and pumpkin pie; it’s about creating connections, celebrating community, and expressing our appreciation for one another.
