You have two more days to sign up for a free Thanksgiving Day meal thanks to the DeKalb Emergency Services Association (DESA).
DESA with the help of volunteers will again be preparing and delivering Thanksgiving Meals to DeKalb County residents on Thursday, November 28.
This year’s meal will consist of turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, roll, and a homemade dessert.
If you or a family member would like a hot meal on Thanksgiving Day, please call one of the numbers listed below or visit the website listed to be added to our delivery list. They will need your address, phone number, and the number of persons in your household. The meals are scheduled to be delivered between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 Noon.
DESA will accept names of persons requesting a meal through Friday, November 22.
To get your name on the delivery list, call 615-464-0575 or 615-712-4286 or visit www.dekalbesa.com/meal
Additionally, if you want to support this community project by donating or volunteering your time to prepare meals and/or make deliveries, you can contact the phone number above. Donations can be made at Wilson Bank & Trust or by visiting www.dekalbesa.com and choose MEAL DELIVERIES in the menu.
