TOP STORY >> Cabot holds annual Thanksgiving feast

At the Cabot Community Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, dozens of people enjoyed a good, hot home-cooked meal and company. The free annual dinner was held at the Cabot Church of Christ. An army of volunteers helped to prepare and serve 512 meals. People could dine at the church and visit with others or pick up a to-go box. Meals were delivered to residents who could not make it to the church.

Hot food kept rolling out of the kitchen, thanks to volunteers who cooked an extra dish at home and brought it to the church.

Cabot Community Thanksgiving Feast organizer Dane Moore said, “We want to thank our volunteers. We had 106. We could not do this without them. It’s absolutely amazing.”

Co-organizer Heather Moore said, “This year we had an outstanding turnout and a continuous flow. Several people told us they would be alone or without a meal. Thanks to the volunteers, we were able to bless many people.”

The event welcomed everyone like family. As visitors arrived, they were greeted with Happy Thanks-giving wishes, and plates were filled by smiling servers who were glad volunteer for the community.
