OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — The Hope Center for Kids announced on Monday that it will have an estimated 400-450 community members, who will come together for a free Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 17 from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
In a press release, the organization said that there will be over 60 pies, 150 pounds of potatoes and 20 turkeys that will go into making a Thanksgiving dinner for the North Omaha community.
“This is the event I look forward to the most each year at The Hope Center. There is a profound sense of community as we welcome everyone to gather and enjoy a meal we prepare in-house,” said Shayna Sterling, Hope Center for Kids Community Engagement Coordinator.
100 volunteers from Medical Solutions and Helping Heros will also work together for preparation, serving and clean-up.
Donations from HyVee, Rotella Bakery, Food Bank for the Heartland and Hope Center supporters help to make dinner possible.
