Simon’s Soup Kitchen, a nonprofit organization based at Our Lady of Perpetual Help church in Seaside Heights, will offer free Thanksgiving meals later this week for those in need.
The organization will distribute the free Thanksgiving Day dinners on Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024 2-3 p.m. at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish Center, 168 Grant Avenue, Seaside Heights. Anyone in need of a hot meal is welcome to attend, organizers said in an announcement sent to Shorebeat.
The meals are full Thanksgiving dinners with turkey and usual trimmings. They will be offered for takeout only.
