(Le Mars) — On this day when we offer our thanks for the bountiful feast, the volunteers of the Community Thanksgiving held at the Rejoice Community Church has prepared enough meals to serve 600 people. Adri Ruisch is the coordinator for the Community Thanksgiving event. She says this is the 12th year when the church has prepared a community meal. Ruisch offers some of the statistics involved with preparing meals for 600 people.
Ruisch says nearly half of the meals go out for delivery.
What’s a Thanksgiving meal without pie? Ruisch says more than 100 pies were prepared for the Community Thanksgiving meal.
As mentioned, this marks the 12th year for the event, and Ruisch says people are amazed at how it has developed over the years.
The Community Thanksgiving began at 11:00 a.m and continues until 1:00 p.m.
