Volunteers and donations needed for annual ‘Thanksgiving in Paso Robles’
Editor’s note: Story has been updated to clarify that the dinner will be available as a drive-through event only, for deliveries and special arrangements please call (805) 239-4137.
–For the past 35 years, Thanksgiving for Paso Robles has been providing a free sit-down dinner for anyone in the community on Thanksgiving Day. This year’s dinner will be served in individual to-go containers and handed out, while supplies last, in a drive-thru style, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. For those who need the meal delivered, call (805) 239-4137 and accommodations will be made.
A true expression of community that brings diverse people together to share the day with others, the event is all made possible through the generosity of caring individuals, students, organizations, churches, and businesses.
Thanksgiving for Paso Robles is 100 percent organized and executed by volunteers. They expect a large turnout this year again and your assistance is needed more than ever. There’s a lot to do! They have to raise the money to buy the food, prepare it, package it, serve it, and clean-up. And, of course, they will need to prepare the spaces to do all of this.
All volunteers must pre-register; no walk-in volunteers, please. All volunteers must be 10 years of age or older; to work in the kitchen you must be at least 16 years or older.
They will be following all COVID-19 protocols and precautions and say they insist all volunteers are healthy and able-bodied.
