Elevate Branson to host 18th Annual Thanksgiving Day Lunch

Elevate Branson is proud to announce its 18th annual Thanksgiving Day Lunch, a cherished community tradition offering a warm, traditional Thanksgiving meal to anyone who may otherwise spend the holiday alone or without the means to prepare a meal.

Elevate Branson’s very beginnings trace back to this same Thanksgiving event nearly eighteen years ago, and the organization continues to honor its roots by extending hospitality, hope and connection to the Branson community. This year’s event will take place on Thursday, November 27, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Parish Center, 202 Vaughn Road, Branson. The meal is free and open to all members of the community.

Community members and local businesses are encouraged to get involved through a variety of sponsorship opportunities, including sponsoring plates, tables, or transportation routes for individuals and families who need a ride, and more. Funds raised will not only help offset the cost of providing Thanksgiving meals but will also support Elevate Branson’s ongoing programs throughout the year, including workforce development, affordable housing, and transportation initiatives that empower individuals and families to move from surviving to thriving.

“We’re looking forward to hosting our 18th Annual Thanksgiving Day event and inviting the community to be part of something meaningful,” said Bryan Stalling, Co-Founder and CEO of Elevate Branson. “Our goal is not only to ensure everyone who attends experiences a warm meal and a welcoming atmosphere, but also to generate the support needed to continue investing in programs that serve our neighbors year-round. We encourage everyone to consider how they can be part of this effort.” For sponsorship opportunities or to learn more about how you can participate, visit ElevateBranson.org/thanksgiving.
