The Dixon Knights of Columbus Free Thanksgiving Dinner committee would like to thank everyone who helped make our fourth annual free Thanksgiving dinner such a success.

We are glad to report that we gave out more than 450 free dinners that day. This included deliveries, carryouts and eat-ins. The extra food and funds will be distributed to organizations such as PADS, Loaves and Fishes, and the Dixon Food Pantry.

This year, we are able to donate $500 to Loaves and Fishes and the Dixon Food Pantry, plus food donations to Loaves and Fishes and PADS in Dixon.
