Free Thanksgiving Dinner!

normasThursday, Nov. 28th from 11am – 1pm. Norma’s Cafe will open its doors on Thursday, Nov. 28th for its 25th Annual Free Thanksgiving Dinner. The free meal giveaway to those in need will only be available at the Oak Cliff location on Davis Street. Said owner Ed Murph, “Norma’s Cafe has always had a spirit of giving back, and this annual event is one we look forward to hosting every year. Seeing the smiling faces and knowing the community is together in a spirit of thankfulness, is what this cafe is all about.” A full spread of holiday favorites will be served, including turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, English peas, salad, dinner rolls, fruit and dessert. While intended to primarily support neighbors in need, we are told that all dinners served on the 28th will be complementary … please tip most generously if you decide to have your Thanksgiving meal at Norma’s.
