The Journal | Thursday, November 28, 2024
In a heartwarming initiative, Tish Von Wald has hosted a free Thanksgiving dinner for the sixth consecutive year at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3522 in Charles Town, aimed at bringing together local residents and veterans who might otherwise spend the holiday alone. Anticipating around 50-75 attendees, the event is focused on fostering community spirit rather than merely attracting large numbers. Driven by volunteer efforts, including support from Andrea MacLeod and the Douridas family, the meal has become a cherished gathering point for both the homeless and community members looking to share the holiday joy without excess food waste. As reported by The Journal, attendees emphasized the importance of socialization and connection during the festive season.
