The annual Poplar Place complimentary Thanksgiving dinner was a great success! We served 1,130 meals.
Thank you so much to John Kwiatkowski, owner of the Poplar Place in Centralia, for all his hard work and commitment for 19 years. He absolutely loves doing this yearly tradition, and we appreciate him, his wife, Cheryl, and daughter, Jenna, for continuing to support our community for all these years.
Also, thank you to all who donated, volunteered, prepared the food, delivered and / or supported this wonderful event! We are so thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful giving community! It takes a village!
