United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County’s traditional sit-down community Thanksgiving dinner looks a little different this year. In the past, each Club site would have a Thanksgiving community meal. Some sites would partner with their local school districts, and other sites would have local donations and donors wanting to prepare the meal. These dinners would feed anywhere from 300 to 600 people per Club location ranging from Carpinteria, two sites in Santa Barbara, Goleta, and North County in Lompoc.
This year, thanks to UBGC donors and the help from Country Catering Company in Goleta, UBGC will be able to distribute 300 family meals that feed a family of four. The dinner will be precooked and will need to be warmed up in the pan it’s handed out in. Families were able to RSVP for meals.
