For over 15 years, some Biddeford families have received Thanksgiving baskets with everything included for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
Several hundred volunteer hours goes into collecting donations, purchasing supplies, boxing dinners, and transportation. From donations and gifts, the Ladies Auxiliary and Sons of AMVETS were able to assemble 21 complete Thanksgiving dinners. Those dinners were boxed and went out to provide shut-ins and/or families with few means to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
AMVET George Worthley said, āIām proud to be an AMVET, especially here at Post 1. All year long, this post donates an incredible amount to support charitable organizations as well as individuals in our local area.ā
