We invite residents affected by the Norfolk Southern train derailment to enjoy a complimentary Thanksgiving dinner with friends, family and neighbors. While there is so much to be thankful for this year, we recognize that there are still hundreds of displaced residents living in temporary relocation and many who have fallen ill since the derailment. Giving them a safe space to celebrate Thanksgiving is the least that we can do! Please come as you are on Tuesday, November 21st anytime between 5 PM and 7 PM.

We have the ability to provide about 100 meals to affected residents, so you must RSVP

DINNER MENU: Roasted Turkey Breast, Stuffing and Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Vegetable Medley, Tossed Salad, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Iced Tea, Lemonade and Coffee

Thanks to RiverWise, a storytelling videography team will also be on hand for those willing to share their story about the train derailment and its aftermath. This story isn't just one of despair; it's one of hope, action and restoration. Your voice is an important part of that story and we invite you to share it with us.

If you are not an impacted resident and would like to be involved, please consider donating. BCMAC has an ongoing campaign to aid train derailment-related grassroots actions, citizen science efforts and advocacy opportunities.
