Community turns out for Thanksgiving dinner

About 225 volunteers and diners shared a Thanksgiving feast Thursday in a community event sponsored by For Our City Maricopa, a local coalition of private citizens, public officials, churches, businesses, educators and others working on a variety of projects in Maricopa.

The community dinner was held at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church.

Church member and photographer Dan Miller called the dinner “a great community event.”

“So many groups do so much by themselves throughout the year, but this time all those great groups did something incredible together for Thanksgiving Day.”

For Our City Maricopa is an “umbrella organization to service” operating under the vision of the mayor. It’s affiliated with CARE Inc. and is one of 10 For Our City groups in the state including Chandler, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Cottonwood, Nogales, Page, Sahuarita and Sedona.
