Free Thanksgiving meal to people in need

Northeast Missouri residents who are struggling this year can enjoy a free Thanksgiving meal in Hannibal.

The Hannibal Salvation Army and Saints Avenue Steakhouse and Buffet are partnering together to provide the Hannibal area with a Community Dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Those in need of a meal should visit the Hannibal Salvation Army Family Services Office located at 200A Steamboat Bend Shopping Center in Hannibal to register for the meal. Participants will be given a gift card equal to the value of a Thanksgiving meal at Saints Avenue. The gift card will be redeemable on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26 from 10am-2pm.

“We are excited to be able to work with a local business to provide a Thanksgiving meal to the people of Hannibal and the surrounding area,” said Salvation Army Area Coordinator Michael Sjogren. “While the pandemic has left many people facing financial hardship, we hope that on this day of thanks, The Salvation Army can bring the community together to focus on the things that we can all be thankful for.”
