Sweetwaters Cares
Thank you for being a part of our 29th annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner. This year we served 1350 meals and gave away 600 coats and jackets.
Thanksgiving Day starts off with a coat give away. Those in need are invited to come to our restaurant to receive a donation. The success of this portion of the holiday event is due in large part from our support from The Windjammer/Best Western.
It's true, it takes a village! We can't thank our many vendor-partners enough. Special shout out to the following:
