Sponsors, Volunteers Needed for Thanksgiving Dinner

MVCAP’s Preble County team marks three decades of hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Volunteers and sponsors are needed to feed nearly 800 people for the holiday in a celebration at Bruner Arena on the Preble County Fairgrounds.

“Without your generous contributions, the sustenance this meal provides to our fellow community members would not be possible,” said Preble County Director Janelle Caron. “We greatly appreciate all contributions – of funding or time – to create a truly memorable community-building event.”

The meal will be prepared at Bruner Arena on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 2025. Dinner will be served from noon to 2 p.m. Dinners can also be delivered to residents’ homes. Delivery reservations, volunteers, sponsors and donations are all needed by Nov. 15.

Donations can be made by check payable to Miami Valley Community Action Partnership: Preble County with “Community Thanksgiving Day” in the memo line. Checks can be mailed or dropped off at the secure drop box at MVCAP’s Preble County office at 308 Eaton-Lewisburg Road, Eaton.

To request a delivered meal, volunteer or for more information, contact Caron or Shelbie Houseman at 937-456-2800.

“The support of our Preble County residents, partner agencies, and businesses gives our organization the opportunity to make Preble County a wonderful place for all residents to thrive,” Caron added.
