Church to offer free Thanksgiving meal
First Presbyterian Church is having a free communitywide Thanksgiving meal 2-3:30 p.m. (or, until the food runs out) Nov. 23, in the upstairs dining room of the church 535 N. Ewing St.
The meal features turkey, ham, potatoes, pie and more – prepared or donated by church members as a Thanksgiving gift to the people of Helena. This is the first return to the meal since 2019.
People who are alone for the holiday or have no family around to celebrate with are invited to stop in for the food and fellowship. Bring a friend or two.
Background piano music will be provided by church musicians: Ann Swisher and Merle Korizek.
