Community Thanksgiving Dinner - 2022

The last several years, the library has participated in organizing the community Thanksgiving Dinner. It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who step up to put on this event. Your willingness to help and serve the community is pretty amazing! It was great to meet in person this year and see that the connection and friendships are still going strong after all that we have been through the last several years.

A big thanks goes to all those who volunteered their time, resources and money to help put on this event!

I especially want to acknowledge Burn Out Barbeque for donating their food truck, decorations and time to cook the delicious meal! Thanks Crystal Whitice and Dare to Care for all of your time in organizing volunteers, supplies and food! Thanks to Jackie and Justin Clifford who also served on the committee, helped organize volunteers and helped the dinner to flow smoothly. The boys and girls basketball teams were a big help with serving meals and helping to clean up!  A shout out goes to Bedford Rotary and members of churches across the county for your help with serving food and cleaning up!
​

 I do not have a list of all those businesses and organizations that donated money, but please know that your generosity is very much appreciated!! It takes a lot of money to put on an event this size. Thanks Mayor Robinson for allowing us to use the community center for this event!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Stay safe and warm!
