BLUE HILL — A pay-what-you-can community Thanksgiving dinner aims to give everyone a warm traditional turkey dinner and friendly company on Thursday, Nov. 26.
The dinner will be at the Farmhouse Inn in Blue Hill at 1 p.m., hosted jointly by the Blue Hill Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and the Tree of Life Food Pantry. Reservations for the dinner are required as seating is limited. To reserve a spot, contact the president of the Blue Hill Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, Ann Rioux, at (207) 669-2525
“At a time when many feel the strain of rising food costs and uncertainty, the pay-what-you-can model ensures everyone, regardless of financial situation, can share in the season's warmth and joy,” the chamber said in a press release.
The meal will be prepared and served by local volunteers, with ingredients and supplies donated by area businesses and residents. Guests are invited to bring non-perishable food items on the day of the event, which will be donated to the Tree of Life Food Pantry.
The hosts are still looking for volunteers and food donations. To volunteer, contact (207) 669-2525 or sign up here.
“Thanksgiving is about community,” Rioux said. “We wanted to create a space where everyone feels welcome, and no one eats alone.”
