A Peabody Community Thanksgiving dinner will be 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 19 at Peabody-Burns Elementary School lunchroom.

Everyone in the community is invited to attend.

A host of volunteers will prepare turkey, dressing, potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans, rolls, and desserts.

There is no charge for the dinner. Organizers hope community members will attend and enjoy the food and fellowship.
