Thanksgiving is just over three weeks away.
With economic hardships and a global pandemic making it increasingly difficult for some families to put food on their tables, The Press is inviting those who are hosting free holiday meals to submit their events so community members can stay abreast of where to find warm, filling Thanksgiving meals this year.
For example, St. George's Catholic Church will serve a free, drive-through meal from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. This will include turkey with all the trimmings. St. George's is at 2010 N. Lucas St., Post Falls.
Email [email protected] to share other free holiday meal sites with The Press. We'll publish more as we receive them in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.

"It’s a really fun and great activity, and I love how passionate our class is for it.”

Lakeland High celebrates successful blood drive
Lakeland High School is celebrating a successful Friday blood drive that brought in 85 units that will impact up to 255 people in local hospitals. The school will also be receiving a $5,000 check from Vitalant that will be used to buy equipment, books or laboratory projects that promote and support Lakeland High School science, technology, engineering or mathematics programs. Hosted by the Lakeland Honor Society, the annual blood drive is a longstanding tradition for the high school. "Lakeland High School ran blood drives before I arrived back in 1997," said honor society adviser Frank Vieira, who has been the blood drive coordinator for 28 years.
