Two of the city’s leading social service agencies hosted a pair of Thanksgiving meals on Monday, serving nearly 700 homeless Edmontonians,
The Friendship Feast took place in two sittings at Boyle Plaza at 95 Street and 103A Avenue.
The first meal provided traditional Thanksgiving fare such as roast turkey, stuffing and potatoes.
A second dinner was also served, with bannock and stew.
The dinner was prepared by students and instructors from NAIT’s culinary program.
Boyle Street hosts the dinner every year for people who would not otherwise have a hot meal on Thanksgiving.
More than 3,000 people in the city are experiencing homelessness, according to the website of Homeward Trust Edmonton.
