Thanksgiving Holiday Dinner 2022

The American Legion, Post 3, will again proudly deliver free Thanksgiving Holiday Dinners to the elderly, shut-ins, veterans, and needy in the Cape Ann area on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 24, 2022. The meals will again be Free. We will serve the communities of Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Hamilton, Wenham, and Ipswich.

“NO ONE SHOULD BE ALONE AND WITHOUT A HOT MEAL ON THANKSGIVING!”

Our goal is to deliver as many holiday meals as we can to our fellow veterans, their families, our senior citizens, and other “special citizens.” Last Thanksgiving, we successfully served and delivered over 650 free Thanksgiving meals. With soaring inflation and rising food prices, the demand is still there, if not more. Post No. 3 of the American Legion intends to honor it.

Volunteer Servers and Drivers are Needed for Thanksgiving Day

We will need servers from 10:00am until all the meals have been served.  We will need drivers from 10:00am until all the meals have been delivered. We will again be operating out of the Open Door Food Pantry, 28 Emerson Ave, Gloucester, MA.

How to Order and Volunteer ONLY AFTER WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2022.
