Ecumenical Thanksgiving Dinner is a Local Tradition

North Council has always been a town that does all it can to take care of its own. It’s a town of compassion, of unity, and of joyful celebrations. Thus, it’s not surprising that Florissant is home to two not-for-profit organizations that really speak the meaning of Thanksgiving and the holidays

For the past 16 years, The Ecumenical Thanksgiving Dinner has been blessing citizens of Florissant and the surrounding area with a free dinner on Thanksgiving Day.

The 16th Annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Dinner will be held once again at St. Ferdinand Catholic Church on Nov. 28 from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Although St. Ferdinand Catholic Church is the site of the Thanksgiving Dinner, it’s a labor of love for six North County churches each year who provide volunteers and coordinate this annual community event. This photo is from last year’s dinner.

Six area churches and dozens of volunteers join forces each year to host this delicious celebration of unity and interfaith thanksgiving. Much effort is poured into the dinner’s success throughout the year. Volunteers not only dedicate their holiday to those who attend the dinner, but all year long as they plan and prepare

To ensure the future success of The Ecumenical Thanksgiving Dinner, the committee is searching for new volunteers not only to help serve on Thanksgiving Day. For further information on the Ecumenical Thanksgiving Dinner, visit their website at www.freedinner.org
