The Knights of Columbus of Biddeford, Saco and Lyman would like to extend warm wishes and a big thank you to the community and parishioners of Good Shepard Parish for their support for our 17th annual free Thanksgiving dinner held this year at the Most Holy Trinity hall in Saco.
The outpouring was again very noticeable in the amount of volunteers that showed up for the event, about 130, that helped to prepare or serve meals on premise or take-out. We ended up serving 885 meals, 420 take-out and 465 on premise.
Thanks goes out to Good Shepard Parish for accommodating us with their parish hall and to the many businesses and individuals who supported us with monetary gifts and merchandise to make the dinner successful, namely: Sappi North America of Westbrook, the Daughters of Isabella, Saco- Biddeford Savings, Bob and Mike’s Mini Mart, Vic’s Appliance, Shaw’s Supermarket, Market Basket, TJ’s Pizza, Fernleaf Bakery, Dunkin Donuts of Biddeford and all the individuals who donated turkeys or cooked turkeys and pies. We look forward to doing it again next year as this has become a wonderful community affair for our area.
