Everyone is invited to a free community Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday, November 25, a press release said.

“This year, however, our program has been modified out of consideration for social distancing as follows,” the press release said:

  • Dinner will be served for pick up by drive up/walk up only from 12-1 p.m. at the Historic Grove Theater at 123 Randolph Road in Oak Ridge.
  • Food will be prepared internally and thus, no outside food donations will be accepted.
  • The number of volunteers will be limited.

For information on how to volunteer or donate go to www.oakridgecommunitythanksgiving.com/. Questions can be emailed to [email protected], or you can call or text 865-384-5683. Follow the dinner on Facebook for frequent updates at OakRidgeCommunityThanksgiving.

“All are welcome, no RSVP required,” the press release said.

The information was provided by the coordinators of the 2021 Oak Ridge Community Thanksgiving Dinner.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
