NASHUA, N.H. – Harbor Care will host its free 23rd annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, November 24, and expects to welcome more than 300 community members for a warm holiday meal and fellowship at the Harbor Care Health & Wellness Center in downtown Nashua.
The free dinner is made possible by The Common Man Family and Bank of America. The dinner is open to anyone who would enjoy a hot meal and holiday company, including people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, low-income families and seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. No registration or reservations are required. To learn more and support the dinner, visit www.harborcarenh.org/thanksgivingdinner.
“We want to give thanks together with our community, and everyone is warmly welcome,” said Henry Och, President & CEO of Harbor Care. “This is more than a meal for the individuals and families who attend each year. For some, it’s also a chance to connect with Harbor Care and other community resources.”
The Common Man Family will once again prepare and donate the meal, which will include 130 pounds of freshly roasted turkey with stuffing, maple-roasted butternut squash, mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and more.
"One of our favorite events to participate in each year is Harbor Care's Thanksgiving meal for the community," said Common Man CEO Sean Brown. "The homestyle turkey dinner and all the fixings are prepared and served with great pride by our team at Common Man Windham, who appreciate the chance to offer helping hands and do good for others."
Matt Reilly, President of Bank of America New Hampshire, said, “Thanksgiving is a time to come together, reflect on what we’re grateful for, and recognize the importance of supporting one another. We’re proud to partner with Harbor Care on this wonderful initiative because every member of our community deserves the opportunity to share in the spirit of the holiday. A special thank you to The Common Man for generously providing the food and helping make this event possible. It’s a privilege to work alongside organizations that make such a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.”
