Lazarus House continues Thanksgiving feast tradition

Lazarus House warmly invites you to join its staff, guests, and many supporters at the annual Thanksgiving Feast to be held Thursday, Nov. 24, at the Salvation Army St. Charles Tri-City Corps, 1710 S. Seventh Ave., St. Charles. The event will run from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. with dining beginning at noon.

The feast has become an established tradition in the community. Not only are Lazarus House guests blessed by the outpouring of generosity and compassion exhibited by those who attend, the feast has also become the family meal for many who live by themselves or do not have family close by.

Plan to attend to meet new friends and share a meal with the neighbors in your community.

For those able to cook, a dish to pass is most appreciated. Food should arrive ready to serve between 11:30 and 11:45 a.m. in a disposable container. Needed dishes and supplies are posted on the website www.lazarushouseonline.com.

There is no cost to attend, but they would greatly appreciate a courtesy call or email letting them know if you are able to contribute a dish and/or plan on attending. Contact Ellen at (630) 587-2144 or holidays@lazarushouseonline.com
