The Charlotte Rescue Mission’s Thanksgiving Day festivities is more than a mid-day meal. It is a full day of opportunities to bring hope to others in our community.
“We make coming to the Rescue Mission on Thanksgiving as special as going to your grandmother’s house” says Rev. Tony Marciano, Executive Director of the Charlotte Rescue Mission.
It all begins bright and early with a hot breakfast served from 6:00am–7:30am. “We will be having a “breakfast buffet with a twist,” says Marciano. “Our guests will be served by volunteer waiters.”
Our traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings, including our delicious homemade desserts, served between 11:30 and 2:30pm. There will be movies shown during the day. Cell phones will be available for guests to use.
“In addition, our dinner guests will be treated like royalty” says Marciano. “Volunteers will be dressed in white shirts, black pants or skirts to resemble fine dining wait staff. Our guests will be served with heaping portions of food on china, while using silverware, all on a table cloth. There will also be a cloth napkin, folded in a fan, coming from the glass. It resembles a wedding reception.” The Charlotte Rescue Mission is not only serving the homeless, its doors will be open to anyone who wants to celebrate Thanksgiving in a family setting.
