Thanksgiving Meals for Northern Berkshires Seniors
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — This year's "Thanksgiving for Seniors Program" will enter its 42nd year serving the Northern Berkshire area.
The program is provided and organized by local volunteers from the Northern Berkshire community and by the All Saints Meal Ministry.
Funding for this program is provided by All Saints Episcopal Church and community donations. Shannon Daugherty, Aja Daugherty and Syid Uqdah will again be spearheading the program.
The meal will be a traditional Thanksgiving dinner consisting of roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy, cranberry sauce, roll and pumpkin pie.
All meals will be delivered to each senior's home.
The program was designed to serve seniors 60 years of age and older who are alone on Thanksgiving and have no way of having a traditional Thanksgiving meal and who reside in North Adams, Adams, Cheshire, the town of Florida and Williamstown. The meals will be delivered by community volunteers on Thanksgiving Day between 11 am and 1 pm.
There is no charge for this meal.
All seniors who wish to receive a meal must make a reservation. Reservations can be made from Nov. 12– 20 by calling All Saints Berkshire Episcopal Church Monday through Thursday, 8:30 am to 1 pm. The number is 413-664-9656. If there is no answer, leave a name, address and phone number on the answering machine. The church asks that participants speak clearly when leaving a message.
The church is also looking for volunteers to deliver meals to seniors on Thanksgiving Day. Call the above number to sign up if you would like to assist in delivering meals.
