The Community Thanksgiving meal started in 2017 to help provide delicious meals to those in need. Galen Hancock, PHCI and Peace House Ministries worked together to make thisdelicious meal happen for area residents. Since that time Pheasant Heaven Charities and Seaboard Energy have partnered
together to provide the meals. Area volunteers do the cooking and coordinating and the community donates the pies. Volunteers also help package up the meals and deliver them to the residents of Rolla, Moscow, Richfield, Hugoton and Stevens County. The dinner started out being 160 meals being delivered but during Covid the numbers skyrocketed to 480-500. Now the number is around 300. The Stevens County Sheriff’s Department delivers meals to rural Stevens County. The Hugoton Police Department, Fire Department and EMS also help. The community works together to help make a great Thanksgiving for the area.
