Inaugural community Thanksgiving dinner at Siddiq’s
Recognizing that not everyone has family or friends to share the holiday — and that not everyone can afford to prepare their own turkey feast — Siddiq Moore and his team are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner that's open to anyone in their West Philly community. Ol' Boys catering will provide the food, and lots of local business have signed up as sponsors to help defray the cost. The event takes place in the grassy lot behind the water ice shop in a heated tent, and there'll be a moonbounce for the kids. (If you're interested in donating or helping out, call 215-410-6513.)
Where: Siddiq's Real Fruit Water Ice at 264 S. 60th St. 19139
When: November 23, 2017 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
How much: Free
