Lazarus House Invites Community to Thanksgiving Feast
Lazarus House warmly invites you to join its staff, guests and many supporters at its annual Thanksgiving Feast to be held on Thursday, Nov, 24, 2016, at the Salvation Army St. Charles Tri-City Corps, 1710 S. 7th Ave., St. Charles. The event will run from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. with dining beginning at noon.
The feast has become an established tradition in the community.
“Not only are Lazarus House guests blessed by the outpouring of generosity and compassion exhibited by those who attend, the feast has also become the family meal for many who live by themselves or do not have family close by,” said Ellen Wildman, holiday coordinator for Lazarus House. “Come meet new friends and share a meal with the neighbors in your community.”
For those able to cook, a dish to pass is most appreciated. Food should arrive ready to serve between 11:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. in a disposable container. Needed dishes and supplies are posted on the website: www.lazarushouseonline.com.
There is no cost to attend, but we would greatly appreciate a courtesy call or email letting us know if you are able to contribute a dish and/or plan on attending. For more information, please contact Ellen Wildman at 630-587-2144 or holidays@lazarushouseonline.com.
