Thanksgiving Dinner and Grocery Hampers for Those in Need
The Yellowknife Salvation Army had a big weekend, providing Thanksgiving dinner to those in need.
Approximately 250 people attended a traditional turkey meal, served restaurant-style, where attendees were seated and had their orders taken and delivered to their tables.
Everybody seemed to appreciate the service and the food
said Tony Brushett, executive director of the Yellowknife Salvation Army.
- 600 hampers were sold, raising close to $20,000 for groceries to support the food bank.
- An additional $1,000 was donated, going toward food security programs.
It was a busy weekend, but a very successful weekend
said Brushett.
