Thanksgiving Dinner Giveaway
On Tuesday, November 26th, members of the Electrical Workers Union Local #9 brought their trailer to The Club, loaded with 50 turkeys and all the fixings for 50 Thanksgiving dinners. For many years, Local #9 has generously donated Thanksgiving dinners to Club families.
Club members, staff, Board members, and Local #9 volunteers worked together to unload the food into the multipurpose room. Club staff and members then prepared 50 bags filled with Thanksgiving essentials, including cranberries, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, rolls, and a pumpkin pie, for selected families.
The dinners were distributed to families on Tuesday, November 26th, and Wednesday, November 27th. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing friends at Local #9 and to Club Board member Mike Somone for coordinating this wonderful partnership.
This event brought the holiday spirit to everyone involved. On behalf of everyone at The West Cook County Youth Club, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season!
