What do you do with 8 turkeys, 3 hams, and 20 homemade pies?
You serve them to 233 people who come for Thanksgiving dinner. ReStore Community Center hosted 65 more people than a year ago when it held its annual Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday evening.

The free meal not only feeds people, but also provides an opportunity to socialize with friends and neighbors at Thanksgiving time. All of the trimmings were there: cranberry sauce, dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and corn, dinner rolls, salad.
