NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Berkshire Food Project (BFP) will hold a sit-down Thanksgiving Dinner on Monday, Nov. 21, with seatings at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

 

This will be the first time the program has hosted indoor dining since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. 

 

The project will return to its walk-through format on Wednesday, Nov. 23, and then it will be closed the rest of Thanksgiving week.

 

"This is a great experiment," said Mark Rondeau, executive director. "Everyone is eager to reopen to indoor dining and this Thanksgiving dinner is our first step in getting there."

 

Cooking the turkey and otherwise helping in key ways are Mariah and Justin Forstmann, owners and operators of the Chingón Taco Truck in North Adams, will be cooking the turkey and assisting.

 

The menu will include turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables, rolls, cranberry sauce, and pie.

 

Volunteers are needed the day of the dinner to help with serving, dishwashing, and cleanup.
