YOU’RE INVITED TO THE LA CROSSE COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING DINNER
Written by Ballzer on November 18, 2021
It’s the 40th anniversary of the La Crosse Community Thanksgiving Dinner!
This is an inclusive event where everyone is invited to the La Crosse Center on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 25, to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Enjoy the day with friends, family, neighbors, and members of our community. This event takes over 700 volunteers and approximately 3,000 meals will be served. Thanks to this generous community, there is no longer a need for volunteers for 2021.
The meal is free, however, the LCTD accepts monetary donations, year-round, to help keep the La Crosse Community Thanksgiving Dinner thriving. Donate on the day of the dinner, donate online, or mail your donation to: LCTD, Inc., P.O. Box 662, La Crosse, WI 54602-0662.
