Community Thanksgiving dinner available in-person or to-go

After oper­at­ing with out­door seat­ing last year, San Juan Island’s free com­mu­ni­ty Thanks­giv­ing din­ner — now in its 24th year — will fea­ture indoor din­ing at the Mullis Cen­ter for the first time since 2019. All com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers are wel­come to take part in the event, which runs from noon to 5 p.m. on Thursday.

The orga­niz­ers will also have to-go con­tain­ers avail­able for islanders who’d like to enjoy the meal but don’t wish to eat in-person.

This year’s menu includes roast turkey, dress­ing, green beans, mashed pota­toes, gravy, maple yams, sal­ad and many home­made pies. Every­thing is pre­pared and served by vol­un­teers — and it’s not too late to sign up to help.
