Special Event

Elgin Community Thanksgiving Dinner

Together We’re Elgin!
It’s the 2017 Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Let’s make this one the biggest yet!
We need your help… Please share and invite everyone you know.

This event is about breaking bread with your neighbors on Thanksgiving.

It’s not a black, white, brown, blue, or purple thing. It’s not a Republican, Democrat, Libretarian, Green, or political thing.
It’s not a rich or poor thing.

To make this event happen, we need your monetary donations to cover the costs. Every little bit helps.
