In just one week friends and families will start to gather around together and share a great Thanksgiving feast. Though for some seniors in the area, finding a place to go or friends to be around can be difficult. And that is why the little brothers friends of the elderly are excited to bring back their annual Thanksgiving day meals. Each dinner plate will come with all of the fixings, that one can desire. And there will even be a chance to join in fellowship with friends and strangers in the area.
“Top notch meal, we take a lot of pride in our food. And for those coming to the dinner, it’s always a festive atmosphere. We have flowers on the tables, we have entertainment for people to enjoy. We have our volunteers there, and they are wonderful. And they’re there to greet people and make everyone feel at home. I think that’s just a special part of Little Brothers, that’s so important. But people getting the home delivered meals will get the same meal. it’s an abundance of food, they get a cold tray, they get a hot tray with their meal. Some extra goodies. So I think it’s all about quality and making a special for our friends.” – Cathy Cass – Aten, Executive Director, Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly
