Hosting a free Thanksgiving dinner? Tell us about it

By Julie Baker

Volunteers serve up food last November during the 17th annual Behavior Workshop Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner at Perry School in Ypsilanti.

Some Washtenaw County residents might go hungry this Thanksgiving season if it weren't for the efforts of some businesses, organizations and individuals. For some, the community meals also provide a chance to give thanks with friends and neighbors.

AnnArbor.com is looking to highlight those who are providing food for the hungry this holiday. If you or your group are holding a free Thanksgiving meal this year, let us know.

We'll be compiling a list of the free Thanksgiving meals offered for those in need throughout Washtenaw County and featuring it on AnnArbor.com.

Send the details of your event — including time, date, place, menu, any transportation provided, etc. — to juliebaker@annarbor.com.
