Luigi's Pizzeria to host twelfth annual free Thanksgiving Day meal November 24

BOONVILLE- It was twelve-years-ago when Luigi's Pizzeria put on their first of what was soon to be many consecutive, free Thanksgiving Day meals for anyone in the community.

The original intent was to offer a place for those who may not have nearby family or friends to have a place to spend Thanksgiving. The initiative has since blossomed into a community effort, with several volunteers showing up the past few years to deliver meals to those as far as Lowville and beyond.

Even though the management has changed hands at Luigi's, Pat Lindsey and his family are back to help lead the charge once again for this twelfth edition of sharing thankfulness with the community. 

"You are welcome to come and dine-in with us, or you can come in and do pick-ups," Pat told our own Chris Flack. "And if you can't get to us, we will get it to you and we will deliver. We look forward to doing this again and we just thank everybody who helps us."

In order for this to work, Luigi's needs some volunteer drivers to help drop off the delivery orders. If you have any free time and can help out on Thanksgiving Day, or if you are planning to order a take-out/delivery meal, you are asked to call Luigi's Pizzeria as soon as possible at 315-942-4425. 

Luigi's is located at 104 Water Street. Thanksgiving Day this year will fall on November 24.
