The Russell Community Thanksgiving Dinner Committee has announced the 46th Annual Russell Community Thanksgiving Dinner, a cherished tradition that fosters warmth and unity within the community, will be held November 28 from Noon to 2 PM at St. Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Church at 415 South Windsor Street in Russell.

This meaningful event provides various options to ensure that everyone can participate in the celebration of Thanksgiving. Dine in and share the spirit of togetherness at Noon. Opt for take-out to enjoy at home. Pick-up is available between Noon and 2 PM. For those who are unable to attend, delivery services are available. Contact Dannie'll Heaton at 785-483-1772 to make arrangements.

The Russell Community Thanksgiving Dinner is a cherished event. The committee believes that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a home-cooked meal during the Thanksgiving season. This dinner showcases the generosity and compassion of the Russell community as people come together to make this vision a reality. Last year, a record-breaking 840 meals were served at the annual Russell Community Thanksgiving Dinner, marking the highest number in the event's 45-year history.

"We aim to celebrate the true spirit of Thanksgiving. This event symbolizes gratitude, community and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones," the committee said.

The Russell Community Thanksgiving Dinner Committee invites all community members to join the celebration, dine together and experience the warmth of the Thanksgiving spirit.

If you are interested in contributing through a donation or by offering your time as a volunteer, they would greatly appreciate your support.
