8th Annual Free Thanksgiving Day Meal Event To Take Place This Th

Eight years and still going strong! How proud are we to live in a community where people like this exist? The generous folks from Curb Side Bistro are gearing up for their annual FREE Thanksgiving Day meal event.

WHERE IS THE FREE THANKSGIVING EVENT TAKING PLACE?

Beginning at 11 am this Thursday, Curb Side Bistro in Odessa, 3816 Andrews Hwy. will once again offer a free Thanksgiving meal to anyone who needs it. This time last year, co-owner and chef Alejandro Barrientos, along with family and friends served over 1,000 plates to the community. This year according to the OA, he would love to do many more, closer to 1,500 if possible.

The Thanksgiving Day free meal event at Curb Side Bistro will be operating as a drive-thru, as this seems to be the most efficient way to do such an event. Chef Barrientos says,

The ability to host a free Thanksgiving Day event is due in large part to donations and volunteers. He said there will be between 30 to 40 volunteers at one time.

Sam's Club supplied desserts and drinks this year and newly-established eatery Pickles donated 100 turkeys. This truly is a community event, with many generous people coming together to make this annual, growing event happen.

The event is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. this Thursday Thanksgiving Day and plates loaded with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing will be served along with drink and a dessert. The plates are free to the public. For more information you can visit Curb Side Bistro's Facebook page.
