On Thursday, November 20th, an estimated 1,560 meals will be served throughout our 22 meal sites and 16 home delivered routes. The Ivy Cafe, located within SWIRCA & More’s Activity Center will serve nearly 400 of those meals.
SWIRCA’s Thanksgiving meal began in 1988 with the goal of providing seniors with a holiday meal that they would not otherwise receive.
The lunch includes roast turkey with gravy, homemade dressing, glazed sweet potatoes, seasoned green beans, cranberry salad, a dinner roll with butter, a slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream and coffee or ice tea.
Preparation for this meal begins a week in advance. In order to cook for the masses, our kitchen uses:
- Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Over 50 turkeys
- Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 160 gallons of dressing
- Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 40 pounds of butter
- Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 198 pumpkin pies
Meal tickets may be purchased in the Activity Center until Wednesday, November 4th. Tickets are $5 for any person age 60 and over or $7 for any person under the age of 60.
Seating is limited so please purchase your tickets early. For more information, call 464-7807.
