The Saint Susan Center, 31 Water St., provided full Thanksgiving meals, to more than 115 guests. Moreover, 52 volunteers helped prepare, serve and support the center’s meal program with an additional 17 Jamestown Jackals basketball players aiding in the center’s efforts.

“This was a wonderful event,” said Cherie Rowland, the executive director of the St. Susan Center. “It’s about bringing people together, building community, especially those who may be alone or struggling this holiday season.”

Additionally, the guests at the United Christian Advocacy Networks City Mission, 7 W. First St. received a similar blessing as the guests at the St. Susan Center.

“Pastor Cameron Lienhart and family came in and cooked, served and ate dinner with our guests,” said Bruce Baehr, the executive director of the UCAN City Mission.

Lienhart, is the senior pastor of Conduit Ministries, which is located at 120 Delaware Ave. The church has become synonymous with serving weekly meals in Brooklyn Square, and by providing ready-to-cook Thanksgiving dinners for local residents for the past eight years.

Conduit provided 1,500 Thanksgiving meals this year in partnership with Bemus Point Methodist Church, up from the 200 turkey dinners it gave away at the church’s inaugural 2016 event.
