This year’s dinner was a huge success. We served over 250 meals onsite and extra portions were sent to East End Community Ministries.

We want to thank you and share some lovely photos from the Albright Thanksgiving Eve Dinner. 

A huge thank you to photographer Larry Rippel for stopping by again this year and capturing some photos of the dinner. 

You can see more photos that Larry captured of the dinner here.

We Shop Local! Community Kitchen & Breadworks

While most of the meal is prepared by volunteers, we are proud that we can support these local organizations and businesses to help with the dinner. 

Community Kitchen Pittsburgh

This year, both the turkey and pies were prepared by Community Kitchen. Community Kitchen is a nonprofit organization located in Hazelwood that offers no-cost job training in the culinary industries. Community Kitchen provides catering and prepares many of the grab-and-go items you might pick up in coffee shops around the city.

Breadworks

All of the rolls for this year’s meal were purchased from Breadworks. You can find products from Breadworks at local businesses across Western Pennsylvania or stop by their retail shop (2110 Brighton Rd Pittsburgh, PA 15212).

Volunteer Here: First Food and Friends

Each year, many of you have reached out to ask where you can volunteer on a regular basis. Every Saturday, First United Methodist Church serves a free meal through their First Food and Friends program.
