Thanksgiving Dinner at Isabella Community Soup Kitchen provides extra meal for local residents

Anyone in need of a warm meal could walk through the doors of the soup kitchen Sunday and be handed a plate piled full of food. Sunday marked the second Thanksgiving dinner held at the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, 621 S. Adams St. “This is a great time to remind people you care and it’s like an extra gift for them,” said Danielle Ismirle, assistant service director for Aramark at Central Michigan University. Ismirle said the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen did not require a proof of income or Isabella County residency. The meal was also provided at no cost. Volunteers served about 175 patrons a traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. Raffle tickets were also handed out upon entrance to each guest. The prize for each number called was a turkey.
