Thanksgiving is a time for us to give thanks, join family and friends to share in the traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings. Unfortunately, some of our neighbors here on Cape Cod are not able to afford the holiday dinner.
Those in need may register now through November 17th to receive a dinner with all the fixings at The Family Pantry of Cape Cod. You have to be a pantry client to participate and must register by November 17th. If you are not a client yet, visit The Family Pantry of Cape Cod at 133 Queen Anne Road in Harwich and work with their volunteers to see if you qualify. Thanksgiving pick-up for clients is on Sunday Nov 20th.
In 2015 the Pantry assembled 457 dinners. The meals are assembled and distributed by a group of volunteers. The Pantry gets the bulk of their turkeys from the Greater Boston Food Bank, but the Food Bank cannot guarantee they will have all that is needed, so donations are welcomed.
500 turkeys are needed this year and the Pantry is asking people from the community to donate medium size turkeys. The organization would also like to offer a pie with each dinner. Donors can donate a FROZEN pie if they are able. Donations may be dropped off at The Family Pantry location at 133 Queen Anne Road, Harwich Tuesdays 10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m, Thursdays 10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., 5:00– 7:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 am - 12 Noon
