COSHOCTON − Thanking the community for its support has long been the reason behind the annual free community Thanksgiving dinner served at Coshocton High School.
This year’s installment will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Nov. 20 in the cafeteria of the high school, 1205 Cambridge Road. The meal will include turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, dressing, roll, dessert and drink. This is the event’s 22nd year.
No school funding is used for the event, which is made possible through public donations of food, materials and money. Close to 400 meals are served each year.
Members of student service clubs assist with serving and bussing. About 100 students help each year. Assisting clubs usually include FCCLA, Key Club, student council, Varsity C Club and members of wrestling and basketball teams. The jazz band and choir will also perform.
Principal Scott Loomis previously told the Tribune the event is all about community outreach and letting the public know just what goes on inside the building.
“It’s about getting in our school and seeing the positive. In our society today, we often just hear about the negative,” Loomis said at the time. “It’s showcasing our kids.”
To make reservations, call the high school office at 740-622-9433.
