It’s not been a good year so far for folks who’ve been hit hard by job losses, the government shutdown, and especially the disruption in SNAP benefits. Fortunately caring members of the community want to share the harvest so everyone can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Drop-in options on the holiday include Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 5701 Raymond Road, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.; House of Flavas and Devine Grilling hosts a meal at the Black Business Hub, 2352 S. Park St., 2-4 p.m.; Luke House, 310 S. Ingersoll St., 3-4 p.m.; and the Cardinal Bar, 418 E. Wilson St., 5-10 p.m. (pay-what-you can). Registration is required for the meal at Lakeview Lutheran Church, 4001 Mandrake Road (noon; RSVP at 608-244-6181) and for a free meal hosted by Neighborhood Food Solutions founder Robert Pierce at Madison Labor Temple (1-4 p.m.; RSVP at 608-358-5834), and recommended for the Delta Beer Lab meal (3-5 p.m. call Delta at 608-640-4500 or register here).
