Sequoyah County Resource Network to Host 12th Annual Free Thanksgiving Dinner

Monday, November 9, 2026 –The Sequoyah County Resource Network will host its 12th Annual Free Community Thanksgiving Dinner on Wednesday, November 25, bringing residents together for a holiday meal and an opportunity to enjoy fellowship with friends and neighbors.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Sallisaw Middle School cafeteria at 2101 West Ruth Avenue in Sallisaw. The dinner is free and open to the public, and all community members are welcome.

Guests will be served a traditional Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans, and rolls. Organizers say guests will be welcomed at the door, seated, and served their meals tableside. Musical entertainment will also be provided during the event.

To help ensure transportation is not a barrier, KATS will provide free transportation to and from the dinner for residents living within the Sallisaw city limits.

The dinner will be dine-in only during the initial serving period. Carryout meals will not be available until 12:30 p.m. and will be offered only if food remains available.

As preparations continue, the Sequoyah County Resource Network is also seeking community support through dessert and monetary donations. Requested desserts include cookies, cakes, pies, and other sweets to help complete the Thanksgiving meal.

Those interested in contributing desserts or making a monetary donation can contact Melissa Lowe at 918-776-0848.

Organizers expressed appreciation for the continued generosity and support of residents, businesses, and volunteers who help make the holiday tradition possible.
