The Ogdensburg Knights of Columbus plan to continue their annual free Thanksgiving dinner after serving a record 994 meals in 2025. The event has been held for more than 30 years.
Dinner is scheduled to be served at noon on Thanksgiving Day at the Knights of Columbus Martin’s Club Fieldhouse. Deliveries are expected to begin around 11 a.m. for people who cannot get to the hall.
The meals are free, though donations are accepted. Volunteers, including drivers and people to help at the hall, are needed.
The dinner has provided more than 20,000 meals over its history. Dine-in service was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the event offered takeout and delivery instead.
People should call the Knights of Columbus at 315-393-7990 to confirm the 2026 schedule, reserve a meal and ask about volunteering. In 2025, reservations were requested by 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
