I plan what the finished dish will be (stew and ciappino are the favorites!). In the invitation, I request each invitee to phone me with their RSVP and I provide them with a food item to bring, i.e., two carrots, an onion, a stalk of celery, etc. I provide the meat or seafood and rent a huge pot for cooking. We build a fire in the firepit and voila!, dinner for many. It's great fun! I’ve had a couple of Stone Soup parties! I plan what the finished dish will be (stew and ciappino are the favorites!).

A group of us women of various religious believes, get together to cook meals for 25 needy families. We do not take applications nor do the families know where the dinner comes from. We just keep our ears open all year long. We cook for the families who have no power or not enough food. We prepare the entire meal from the turkey to the pumpkin pie. We have men deliver the food to the families on Thanksgiving eve. They know that they are not to tell where it comes from. It is amazing the letters to the Editor of our local paper receives after these families have enjoyed a hot Thanksgiving dinner for their family. These families would not have a Thanksgiving dinner otherwise. I know that just once a year is not much but it is something. The kids can go to school and talk about their Thanksgiving dinner just like all the other kids. It works for us. We do a special thing at Thanksgiving time.
