Thanksgiving Day is so close! For us here at Joshua House that means a very busy and exciting time as we host our Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner on Tuesday, November 26th. In case you have never heard of it, this dinner is provided to the community for FREE as a way for us to give back and to give thanks! We host this event at 926 Logan Ave, Tyrone (The Tyrone Armory) from 4:30 until 6:30 PM. Last year we were able to serve 400 meals and hope to serve even more for this year!

I absolutely love this season and this event! It gives us the opportunity to see what a wonderful heart our community has between those who donate food, donate their time to serve or cook and recognize what a blessing giving can be. We get to see old friends, make new ones and feed multiple families who may or may not otherwise enjoy a home cooked Thanksgiving Day meal. If you wish to volunteer or have items to donate please call me at (814) 684-2032.
