We are excited to announce we are bringing back the Orange County Community Thanksgiving Dinner for another year! Because no one should have to eat along on Thanksgiving.

This year, we will be hosting three in-person dinners, one in Paoli, French Lick, and Orleans! Details are coming soon on specific locations.

These dinners are FREE for anyone who lives in Orange County, and we need your help to make them happen!

We’re currently seeking donations to help cover the cost of the meals. Want to help? Sponsor a family today!

❤️ Donate here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/e5e4b08a-9d1f-4491-a116-111e59bce1a4

Did you know that in addition to the cafe, Lost River Co-op & Cafe runs a variety of food access programs that help feed our neighbors with fresh, local produce? With the help of many collaborators, over 2,300 people received a free hot meal or free produce this year!

These programs include:
🍓 Bags of Basics - a serving of a vegetable, fruit & protein delivered to seniors
🥕 Produce vouchers - vouchers for produce from the farm stand or in-store
🍏 Mobile farm stand - bringing fresh produce to English, Bedford & Paoli
🍽️ Senior meals and lunches - free hot meal, connection, and community
🌱 All of these initiatives support our local growers

Food access is more than just a plate of food. It's sharing a meal with a neighbor, picking out fresh produce, and knowing your community cares. The need in our community is real and we see it every day. If you’re able to give, your donation helps keep these programs going.

To donate, visit https://www.lostrivercoopcafe.com/donate

Thank you to all of the partner organizations who helped make this all possible!
