Blaine United Church of Christ, Healthy Youth Coalition and American Legion Riders came together to bring back the Community Thanksgiving Meal, after the annual dinner – a fixture of the community for nearly two decades – was unexpectedly cancelled last year. On November 23 at the Blaine Senior Center, over 250 people were served a free turkey dinner. Organizers cooked more than 20 turkeys, and the leftovers were donated to the Lighthouse Mission homeless shelter in Bellingham.
