🍂 Help Us Feed Our Community This Thanksgiving! 🦃🍖

The Salvation Army is partnering with DAFS, Freedom Fighters, The ARC, and Sawmill Mall to provide a FREE Thanksgiving meal for more than 500 people in Center Court at Sawmill Mall on November 25, 2026, at 11am and noon.

We're asking local restaurants, churches, businesses, organizations, and individuals to donate one cooked turkey and/or ham to help make this special community event possible.

The celebration will include:
✅ A free Thanksgiving meal
✅ Entertainment from local schools and organizations
✅ Community fellowship
✅ A visit from Santa!

If just 50 donors provide a turkey or ham, we can make a tremendous impact and help bring our community together for Thanksgiving.

To donate or learn more, contact:

Please share and help us spread the word! Together, we can make Thanksgiving special for hundreds of our neighbors. ❤️
