FORT MADISON – With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, the Fort Madison Community Thanksgiving Dinner Committee is busy preparing for a dinner that will look a little different this year.
The 2022 Fort Madison Community Thanksgiving Dinner will take place on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2022 and will be carry out and delivery only once again.
The committee will serve meals from the Fraternal Order of the Eagles Aerie 1287 located at 4821 Avenue O Suite #4. Volunteers will be needed to help deliver meals to those who are unable to get out. Deliveries will be made from 11 am – 2 pm on Thanksgiving Day. Carry out meals can be picked up at the Eagles Club between 12 – 2 pm.
All meals will need to be ordered ahead of time by calling the Thanksgiving Hotline at 319-316-8103 beginning November 7th until November 21st.
This year’s meal will consist of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, a dinner roll and a cookie.
“Last year’s Community Thanksgiving was so successful; we’ve decided to do it the same way. Our volunteers are what help make this event so successful. We’ll be needing delivery drivers again as well as people to help on the service lines. Volunteers will be needed on Wednesday for prep, also” said Fort Madison Chamber of Commerce Director Savanna Collier.
Anyone wishing to volunteer, should call the Turkey Hotline at 319-316-8103 to sign-up.
The committee appreciates the efforts of the greater Fort Madison businesses for sponsoring and volunteers that help make this free event happen.
They especially would like to thank the Eagles Club for the use of their space and the Iowa State Penitentiary for their help in the preparation of the food.
It is the goal of the group to see that no one is overlooked this Thanksgiving so getting the word out to community members in need and to those who may not have a family to share a holiday meal with this is of utmost importance!
