Community Thanksgiving Meal returns to Blaine

Blaine United Church of Christ, Healthy Youth Coalition and American Legion Riders came together to bring back the Community Thanksgiving Meal, after the annual dinner – a fixture of the community for nearly two decades – was unexpectedly cancelled last year. On November 23 at the Blaine Senior Center, over 250 people were served a free turkey dinner. Organizers cooked more than 20 turkeys, and the leftovers were donated to the Lighthouse Mission homeless shelter in Bellingham.
