Thanksgiving dinner delivered by firefighters

December 4, 2020 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

It all began three years ago when the Plympton Firefighters were told that an elderly couple in Plympton were in a very difficult time and would not have a Thanksgiving meal.  Members of the Plympton Firefighters Association got together and made an amazing feast for the family.

The following two years didn’t find any specific needs, so the Plympton Firefighters Association sponsored a meal for the town’s senior citizens at the Upland Sportsman Club.

This year, because of the pandemic, they couldn’t provide an in-person dinner so the Association reached out to the Plympton seniors through their monthly newsletter and a robo call.  The Association received requests from 25 residents for a Thanksgiving meal.

There was turkey with all the fixin’s, including a dinner roll and dessert.   

They delivered the meals to grateful recipients Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon.
