FISH, Carson Nugget to host annual Thanksgiving dinner for Carson City Community
For more than 60 years, the Carson Nugget has made sure that no one in the Carson City community feels left out during the holiday season, and this Thanksgiving is no exception.
Together with Friends in Service Helping, also known as FISH, the Nugget is hosting its annual turkey day feast Thursday where around a thousand people will have the opportunity to be served. All community members are welcome and the event is free.
More than 2,000 pounds of turkey are expected to be cooked up by the Nugget’s Executive Chef David Sellars and his staff, and FISH has already donated 100 turkeys.
They begin the cooking process over a week ahead of time to make sure every bird is dressed and ready for feasting by Thursday.
In addition, FISH and local churches will also be delivering meals to around 200 people in the community who aren’t able to make it to the Nugget, but still need holiday cheer. FISH volunteers will sit with them and enjoy a meal together.
Thanksgiving dinner will begin at 11 a.m. and run until 1 p.m. at the Carson Nugget, 507 N. Carson Street in the upstairs banquet room.
FISH is also about half way to its goal of 1,000 turkeys by Christmas for holiday baskets and meals, and is in need of donations to make that goal a reality.
On Thursday, Nov. 8, the Nugget and FISH teamed up for the annual High Five Turkey Drive in order to collect turkeys for the 2018 season.
In 2017, FISH helped 7,300 people, with 336,732 food bank meals served, and 25,747 dining room meals served.
FISH came into existence in May of 1979 for the sake of Carson City’s homeless and hungry. Visit their website at www.nvfish.com for more information.
