HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Wesleyan Church will host a free "Friendsgiving" tonight in Creekside Neighborhood from 6:30-8 p.m. This is Hutchinson Wesleyan's fourth year hosting the Thanksgiving event.
Pastor Nick Huck of Hutchinson Wesleyan said a basic Thanksgiving meal including turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables and pie will be served.
"Last year we had 110 people that we fed and it's just a time for people to come together that maybe they don't have family or anybody to do Thanksgiving with," Huck said. "It's kind of just a you know come together with friends."
Huck said when the Hutch Rec started working with Creekside, community members brought up the idea to host a Friendsgiving in the neighborhood. Neighborhood Development Coordinator Adam Stewart of Hutch Rec helped coordinate the event.
"As we were having our meetings with Adam and talking about it [and] thought they might want to do and we said hey we are willing to host it and provide the meal and everything," Huck said.
Several neighborhood members of Creekside help serve the meal. Huck said community members are welcome to bring a dessert but food donations are provided by the church.
"It's just our ministry to the community," Huck said.
Hutchinson Wesleyan Church is located at 10th Ave. and Jackson.
