MORRIS COUNTY — The Market Street Mission is once again extending a warm invitation to the community this Thanksgiving, welcoming anyone in need of a hot meal or companionship to its annual holiday dinner.
A traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings will be served at 4:30 p.m. at the Mission’s Morristown location. The meal is free and open to all members of the community. Prior to dinner, a 3:00 p.m. chapel service, typically held for residents in the Mission’s recovery program, will also be open to the public.
For many facing homelessness, addiction, or financial hardship, the holiday season can be especially difficult. Mission leaders say their goal is simple: ensure that no one spends Thanksgiving alone or without a warm meal.
“At the Market Street Mission, we want everyone to experience the joy of the holiday season, and we invite neighbors in need to join us for a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner in a caring community environment,” the organization shared in its announcement.
Residents are encouraged to spread the word to anyone who may be searching for a welcoming place to spend the holiday.
“If anyone you know is looking for a community to share Thanksgiving dinner with, send them our way,” the Mission said. “We look forward to celebrating with neighbors who come to our doors.”
A Longstanding Resource for Those in Need
Beyond its holiday outreach, Market Street Mission remains a trusted pillar of support for individuals and families across New Jersey. The nonprofit provides more than 150,000 meals and 47,000 nights of shelter annually across its locations in Morristown, Asbury Park, Newton, and Paterson.
