Things to do in Louisville this Long Thanksgiving Weekend! 2011

Another Thanksgiving weekend is upon us, and are you wondering what is going on in Louisville? There are some great opportunities to help others in need this season. Of course, with a 4-day weekend, there is also plenty of time for fun! Here is a sprinkling of both to get you started.

 Wayside Christian Mission
Located at 432 East Jefferson Street (downtown), the Wayside Christian Mission serves the less fortunate for Thanksgiving dinner. They can always use volunteers, and this is a great opportunity to teach your children about the importance of service to those who have no home to go to or may be hungry.

For more information call 502-584-3711, or Volunteer Coordinator Kim Likens (502) 299-2692, but don't wait until Thanksgiving Day-call now .
