MESQUITE, NV — Thanksgiving is a time for people to gather in unity, count blessings, and express gratitude for health and family. In this spirit, the City of Mesquite extends an invitation to all the residents of Mesquite, Bunkerville and the surrounding areas to come share a complimentary Thanksgiving meal on Wednesday, Nov. 26 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Hosted by the Mesquite Senior Center, located at 102 W. Old Mill Rd., this meal is an opportunity to not only enjoy turkey, mashed potatoes and all of the trimmings, but to also enjoy friends, neighbors, family and others in the community. You never know, you might meet a new friend!

This free holiday meal is made possible by the generous donation of time and treasure by local businesses, individuals and community groups. “Everyone should be able to celebrate Thanksgiving, and we are glad to help with that effort.”

If you are interested in donating time, there are many volunteer opportunities available. Volunteer time slots are in one-hour block. Those interested in volunteering can contact Krissy Thornton for details at 702-346-5290 ext. 4102 or via email at kthornton@mesquitenv.gov.

Financial contributions in any amount would be greatly appreciated too. For more information about this event or interested in donating, please contact Griseyda Belalcazar, Senior Services Supervisor, at 346-5290 ext. 4006 or via email at gbelalcazar@mesquitenv.gov.
