2022 Albright Thanksgiving Dinner Recap (plus where to volunteer throughout the year)
This year’s dinner was one of the biggest meals in recent memory. We served over 250 meals in the social hall and prepared another 60 to be delivered to the North Shore. We pretty much only had a few pies and some yams left at the end of the evening.
A huge thank you to photographer Larry Rippel for stopping by and capturing some photos of the dinner.
