Lazarus House to host annual Thanksgiving Feast

Submitted by Lazarus House

Lazarus House invites the community to join its staff, guests and many supporters at its annual Thanksgiving Feast from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, at the Tri-City Salvation Army, 1710 S. Seventh Ave., St. Charles. Dining will begin at noon.

The feast has become a tradition within the community. It is a chance to sit alongside the guests and clients to share fellowship and a meal. The feast was established for folks who are homeless or alone for Thanksgiving, as well as those who simply want to add more meaning to their holiday.

For those able to cook, a dish to pass is most appreciated. Food should arrive between 11:30 and 11:45 a.m. in a disposable container and ready to serve. Needed dishes (stuffing, vegetables, etc.) and supplies are posted on the website, www.lazarushouseonline.com. A courtesy email to juliep@lazarushouseonline.com with what you are bringing is appreciated.

Everyone is invited to join for dining and fellowship. There is no cost. Registration is not required, but appreciated by calling (630) 587-2144.
