Free Thanksgiving meals being provided around Central Pennsylvania

2020 will bring changes to how Thanksgiving is hosted, but a number of organizations across Central Pennsylvania are still aiming to feed those in need.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Editor's note: The above video is from November 9.

Thanksgiving in 2020 is just another event that COVID-19 will impact.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will be a virtual event. Travel plans are being changed.

Social distancing requirements are in place, and many restaurants have felt the strain and been forced to close amid the pandemic.

While many hotels, churches and organizations typically host free Thanksgiving meals and buffets, the number has been reduced in our area this year.

Some organizations have adjusted plans and are offering to-go meals on Thanksgiving.
