Lazarus House celebrates Thanksgiving with the Tri-City region
By Jack McCarthy Chronicle Media — November 29, 2017On most days, St. Charles-based Lazarus House is dedicated to serving the homeless in the Tri-City region. But on Thanksgiving, the non-profit agency and generous volunteers invite the whole community to enjoy a free Thanksgiving Dinner at a Salvation Army center. Now an established tradition of food and fellowship, the event served as a holiday feast for people who may live alone or not have family nearby.
