On Saturday, November 19, the group will meet at the Somerset County Vocational-Technical School in Bridgewater to cook approximately 15 turkeys and prepare a variety of mouth-watering desserts.
The next day, the group will be joined by volunteers from the Somerset County Food Bank to decorate the PeopleCare Center in Bridgewater and prepare place settings for an anticipated crowd of 200 or more.
