Bowie and Nocona will serve community dinners on Thanksgiving Day for those looking for a holiday meal or some fellowship.
In Bowie, the dinner will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the First United Methodist Church, 1515 North Jefferson. Last year organizers reported serving about 300 people both in-house and delivery or pickup.
Delivery and take-out meals will be available. Orders will be accepted until noon on Tuesday, Nov. 20. Call the church office at 872-3384 to place an order or to make a reservation. There is no charge for dinner.
Christ Community Church in Nocona will coordinate the community dinner for the 15th year. The meal will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Veranda Inn Event Center. There is no charge.
Those wanting to reserve a meal or have one delivered can call 531-1885. Coordinator Belinda Hendrix said they will even try to accommodate anyone needing a dinner the day of the event.
Last year there were 435 meals delivered or picked up, while another 250 were served in-house.
Volunteers are welcome to come help with the meal, and the event is always in need of cash donations and cooked turkeys, as well as sides and deserts.
“We don’t turn anything away,” said Hendrix. “If you want to come and work, show up and we will find a job for you. We have plenty of people who come from McKinney, Allen and even Oklahoma City to help. It has become a family tradition for many, they will work and when they get a break they will sit down and have their meal together.”
