Family, friends and stuffing are the most popular parts of any Thanksgiving meal.

For the first time, 琉璃神社鈥檚 Gospel Mission is encouraging residents to invite a guest to their annual turkey dinner on Oct. 10.

Mandy Phillips, Kitchen Manager at 琉璃神社鈥檚 Gospel Mission said that the ovens have been busy leading up to the meal.

The team cooked 30 turkeys, 16 hams, 250 pounds of potatoes, stuffing and gravy, which will be accompanied by vegetables, cranberry sauce, buns and pie at the dinner.

The Gospel Mission currently houses approximately 60 people. The residents and their guests will enjoy the feast together at the center鈥檚 dining hall.

Additionally, pre-packaged meals will be delivered to over 150 people experiencing homelessness around 琉璃神社.

If you would like to volunteer at the Mission, you can contact them at 250-763-3737.
