The PVHH Board decided to eliminate their sit-down Free Thanksgiving Dinner gathering this year in order to protect those they will serve from possible exposure to Covid and flu circulating in the Platte Valley.
Last year 160 dinners were delivered by 4 volunteer teams.
This year, approximately 20 PVHH volunteers will prepare the traditional a Thanksgiving meal of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, ham, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, roll, and pumpkin pie utilizing the Platte Valley Community Center Kitchen.
This free dinner is made possible through monetary donations received from last year’s dinner and generous donations by local businesses: Platte Valley Community Center – Joe Elder, Wolf Hotel –Doug Campbell, Valley Foods, Cassie Orduno, and Marie Christen.
