Local restaurants banding together to provide Thanksgiving feast to those in need
Several local restaurants and businesses are teaming up to provide a Thanksgiving feast to Grande Prairie’s most vulnerable population this holiday weekend.
The meal is being provided through the Everybody Eats in GP initiative, which will see six local restaurants work together to provide the feast to approximately 175 of those less fortunate this Sunday.
Jim Rawsthorne, the owner/operator of Brown’s Social House in Grande Prairie, says he and other restauranteurs wanted to show that despite having to overcome challenges of their own through the pandemic, they still want to give back to the community.
“This industry has definitely taken on a bit of a whirlwind these past couple years, but it doesn’t change the fact that there are still people in the community that need help,” said Rawsthorne.
