Editor,
The Knights of Columbus of Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach and Lyman would like to extend warm wishes and a big thank you to the community and parishioners of Good Shepherd Parish for the support of our 20th annual Free Thanksgiving Dinner held at Most Holy Trinity Hall in Saco.
The outpouring of so many volunteers to put on this dinner was evident again this year. We ended up serving 975 meals on premise and take-out deliveries.
Special thanks to Good Shepherd Parish and Monsignor Mathieu for accommodating us with the parish hall and to the parish staff for taking time to accept the many calls that come in to make this event happen. A big thank you to the many businesses and individuals who supported us with monetary gifts and merchandise needed to make the dinner a success, notably, Saco-Biddeford Savings, Sappi North America of Westbrook, TJ’s Pizza of Biddeford, Biddeford Food Pantry, Saco Food Pantry, Saco Valley Credit Union, Barbara Laveriere, Hannaford Biddeford, Walmart Biddeford, Stacey Weeks Foy, Shaw’s Saco, Shields Meats of Kennebunk, Three Sisters Restaurant, all all who xcooked and donated turkeys and pies (too many to mention here).
As this event is spearheaded by the local Knights of Columbus. this holiday meal has become a community event where all of the volunteers (about 150 individuals) are very caring and want to make a difference with their charitable works. It’s certainly been an ecumenical event for our community. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. We look forward to doing this again next year.
