The History

IMG_6556.JPG

"It seems only yesterday that we had our first dinner, where fifty diners and volunteers met to have Thanksgiving together in the Francis Room at the Parish of St. Stephen. Each year, this community gathering has grown in popularity, now serving 220 diners in the auditorium of St. Stephen of Hungary School and preparing another one hundred to-go dinners for our homebound neighbors and friends. Please consider helping this year - donations and volunteers are always needed. Without your generosity, this event would never have been possible!" 
 

- Barbara Murphy & Roz Panepento,
Co-chairs of the parish Thanksgiving dinner
