SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Enjoy all your favorite Thanksgiving treats at Simon’s Soup Kitchen Annual Thanksgiving Day dinner on November 25.
Dig into a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, stuffing, all the fixings and of course plenty of pies. This year, the dinner will be served as individual take-out style dinners due to the continuing COVID-19 health crisis. Visitors can pick-up their dinners at the Parish Center of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Grant Avenue in Seaside Heights from 2 to 3 p.m.
“This is an opportunity for those who regularly come to our soup kitchen, as well as anyone else who would like to join us, to enjoy the food and traditions that are so much a part of the Thanksgiving holiday,” Sr. Executive Director of Simon’s Soup Kitchen John Salemi said.
The feast this year will be served by a smaller group of volunteers due to social distancing requirements. Those picking up food are asked to wear a mask and follow social distancing requirements.
“For many who can’t afford to prepare a meal of their own, this is an opportunity to receive a traditional Thanksgiving dinner,” Salemi said. “Each year, those who join us express their gratitude for such a hearty feast prepared by our volunteers. For each of us, it is a reminder of the many things for which we can be thankful for especially this year as 2021 has been so hard on so many.”
The annual Thanksgiving dinner distribution will be in addition to the normal serving schedule of operating every Tuesday and Friday evening beginning at 5 p.m. from October through April at the Parish Center of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. Everyone in need of a hot meal is welcome.
