One Waterford chef is gearing up to give out free meals for Thanksgiving

Making sure people have a warm meal to eat is something one Waterford chef is passionate about. He is preparing to put together a big Thanksgiving day meal for seniors free of charge.

Joseph Forget is a part of the Waterford Knights of Columbus. Their organization does a lot for charity. On Saturday, he and volunteers helped prepare a meal for seniors at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church. Joseph will be doing a similar thing on Thanksgiving day at the North Side Fire District. The dinner will be from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The goal is to feed seniors and anyone in Waterford who needs a meal.

“We’re going to be hopefully serving anywhere from 100 to 150 meals, maybe more. And we are still looking for donations," said Forget.

Forget has been giving out free meals throughout the pandemic. If you’re interested in donating or signing up for the dinner, you can call 518-879-2911 or email waterfordcares@yahoo.com.
