Canton Masonic Lodge to serve Thanksgiving dinner
The Canton Masonic Lodge has been preparing Thanksgiving dinner at the Lodge since the mid-1980s and every year since, the Masons have invited the public to enjoy a free Thanksgiving meal with friends and neighbors.
“Some thought the meal was for the poor or disenfranchised, but it was never intended to be exclusively for the poor. The meal is for anyone who would like to come and have dinner with others,” said Master Mason Jim Fuller. “Perhaps there are those alone for the holiday and don’t have the desire to prepare a big meal. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for a lot of things, including friends and neighbors who enjoy getting together for a meal and fellowship.”
The Masons will begin serving their annual traditional Thanksgiving meal at approximately 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day and will serve until 2 p.m.
Carry outs will be available; however, home deliveries will not be available this year due to a shortage of manpower, Fuller said.
Donations will be accepted but are not required. Donations will be used for funding for other charities of the Mason including Christmas baskets for shut-ins during December.
The Canton Masonic Lodge is located at 1284 West Dallas, near the Justice center on Hwy. 64 west of Canton.
