Members of the community came together on Thanksgiving, Nov. 22, at the Glasgow Senior Citizen Center to enjoy good company and food prepared and served by volunteers comprised of the Glasgow High School student council and enthusiastic individuals. In it's 28th year, the event served 200 people and brought people of all ages together.
The event started one year with Ruth Ann Hutchinson offering her home to fellow churchgoers as a place to gather for Thanksgiving dinner for those who didn't have a place to go. When the Valley County Food Bank began in Glasgow, Hutchinson decided to expand the offer to the community. "If there was a need for a Food Bank, then there must be a need for a community Thanksgiving dinner," said Hutchinson.
Third-graders from Irle School made the centerpieces for the special event while Daniel Dunn returned to help volunteer. Dunn has a special connection to the event as he volunteered as a Boy Scout and keeps coming back year after year to help.
"The 29th event will be planned and we are hoping to exceed the number of people from this year," said Hutchinson.
