Someone asked for help on my Facebook page. They wanted to know where they could order a Thanksgiving dinner that was fit for 2-4 people versus a feast meant for 8-10 folks. It’s valid, as many of us will (or should) spend Thanksgiving with a much smaller audience in 2020.
As I write this, I don’t even know what I’m going to do for Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday. My Thanksgiving Day crew, which is large, is avoiding the issue. Deep down, they know the right answer is to not get together, but they don’t want to confront the sadness that comes with it.
Enough about my family…let’s salvage Thanksgiving! I know there are other Thanksgiving meal guides out there. I divvied this up and am highlighting kits that serve smaller groups. Just know, if you want one, you’ll have to act fast! Some of these are typically are made in small quantities. I ordered from Nosh & Gather and their meals are sold out.
I’ll add to this list as I hear of new offerings. Comment below or connect with me on Facebook or Twitter.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Shameless plug: I work for Open Arms of Minnesota. Every Thanksgiving, we serve Thanksgiving Day meals to Minnesotans living with cancer, HIV/AIDS, MS, ALS and other life-threatening illnesses. Over 1,800 meals have been ordered, and we need help to offset the costs. Learn how you can help here.
