Supervisor Sequanna Taylor and Dream Team United to Host Free Thanksgiving Community Feast - 12:00 P.M.
County Supervisor Sequanna Taylor and Dream Team United will come together to host an outdoor community Thanksgiving feast on Thursday, November 26. The event will run from Noon to 3 p.m. at a vacant lot on the corner of 35th and Center streets.
"The holiday season can be difficult, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Supervisor Taylor. "This Thanksgiving feast gives us the opportunity to safely come together and make sure that everyone in the community is able to have a warm meal and needed winter supplies as the weather gets colder."
Thanksgiving Senior Meals - Meal Delivery
Serving Older Adults is partnering with Home for Thanksgiving to provide meals for seniors in our community. The group, headed by Thomas Tym has been providing Thanksgiving meals to those in need in Southeast Wisconsin for nearly 20 years. The event almost didn't happen this year, but volunteers and sponsors stepped up and are going to be able to provide over 600 meals to seniors who are alone or have a small family. Thomas Tym can be contacted at 414-758-1351. He is coordinating the meal delivery.
