This year was our fifth Thanksgiving dinner at the Ridge Cafe & Deli.

We support athletics in the school system and give out gift cards for a variety of charitable organizations, but offering a free Thanksgiving dinner with leftovers for the next day for those who would otherwise be eating alone is a much better way of giving back.

A big thank you to all my volunteers. Twedes for the turkeys, Herfys for so much help, Nate from Taco Delmar for 50 pounds of potatoes, Snovalley Coffee for coffee, and the Piebar for the pies.

All these wonderful people helped get everything ready for the feast. We served 48 people and all left with full bellies and a reminder for the next day.
