Every year on Thanksgiving Day at 1:00pm United Parish in Brookline hosts a full sit-down Thanksgiving meal for up to 200 people. The meal and service are all provided by volunteers in the church and in the community, and some food local organizations. The meal is offered free of charge.
The church office does ask for an RSVP to give those who work tirelessly on this project sufficient information about the number of people to expect for the meal. You can call 617-277-6860 x7 or email thanksgiving@upbrookline.org to RSVP or volunteer to help out that day.
