Thursday is the day Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. It is a day for family and friends to get together and celebrate with a traditional meal of turkey and all the trimmings.

There are those in the community though who are not able to either prepare or afford that traditional meal and for those, there are a couple of options.

Our Lady Of The Lake Roman Catholic Church, 1975 Daytona Drive, will serve Thanksgiving dinner Thursday, from noon to 2 p.m. in the Holy Family Parish Hall.

Local charity Only Orchids has once again partnered with Cha Bones Tapas and Steakhouse to offer free Thanksgiving boxed meals.

The boxed meals will be handed out at Cha Bones from 8 a.m. to noon Thursday. Folks just need to indicate how many are in their family and the boxes will be giving accordingly. The group plans to provide more than 2,000 meals with no questions asked.

Cha Bones is located at 112 London Bridge Road.
