ESCANABA — The 2024 Community Thanksgiving Dinner will be held at the Escanaba High School on Thanksgiving Day, November 28. The goal of the event is to offer a place where no one will feel alone on Thanksgiving.

A traditional Thanksgiving meal including turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, and desserts will be served free of charge from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Free DATA bus rides are available for those needing transportation and can be booked by calling the Escanaba Senior Center at 906-786-8850. To-go meals will also be available for pick up from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Reservations for to-go meals are highly encouraged and can be made by calling the Escanaba Senior Center at 906-786-8850.

It is anticipated that the 2024 Community Thanksgiving Dinner will provide over 700 meals this year. As such, we are seeking individuals, families, and community/civic groups who are interested in volunteering for this event. Help is needed on Wednesday, November 27 and on Thursday, November 28 (Thanksgiving Day).
