Oliver Wolcott Annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner

Oliver Wolcott Technical High School will once again open their doors to the public for their 28th Annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner on Thanksgiving Day.

A tradition since 1982, this year’s Thanksgiving dinner will once again be prepared by the school’s Culinary Arts Department students, under the direction of Chef’s Brian Malota and Gary Zahacewski.

The school will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There is no charge for the meal. Reservations are not required.

Take-out meals will be available. To order a meal to be delivered to your home, contact St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at 482-3555.

As in the past, staff and students of the school have donated the food for the event.

Outside volunteers are not needed as the meal is prepared and served by the school’s Culinary Arts students and Student Council members.

Graphics Department Head and Student Council advisor Mark Eucalitto has kept the dinner alive since 1993. The dinner was the brainchild of then Electrical Department Head Ray Mencio back in 1982.
