A free community Thanksgiving dinner has become a 20-year tradition of Jimmy Zisovski, owner of Jimmy Z’s Plates & Shakes. Last year over 200 turkey dinners were served to the Brockport community free of charge. Jimmy Z’s is partnering with Jubilee Christian Church, and both organizations have a single goal – to bless more families in our community.
The community can expect a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings and an opportunity to gather with others rather than being alone on the holiday. Guests will dine in the dining room at Jubilee Christian Church, located just north of Route 104 in Clarkson. Fifty guests can be seated per half-hour block, increasing the opportunity to serve more in the community. Tom the Turkey will also be on hand to Turkey Trot and take pictures with the children.
The majority of the food and supplies are donated by local farmers, grocers, and restaurants. Turkeys are donated by Ridgecrest Turkey Farm. That leaves Zisovski and his team to cook it up and the volunteers of Jubilee to serve it up.
Reservations are required by visiting Jubilee’s website, jubileechristianchurch.org, or by calling 637-8530. Meals will be served on Thanksgiving Day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the invitation is extended to anyone in the community. Take out is also available. Donations are welcome, but not mandatory, and will go to the Brockport Food and Toy Shelf.
Both Zisovski and Emelio Sebastian, Pastor of Jubilee, believe in the importance of serving the local community. Making sure people aren’t alone for the holiday is just one way to give back.
