For those in need of a hot meal this Thanksgiving, or for those looking to help fellow community members, there are multiple free meals available in the Tuckerton and Little Egg Harbor areas.

Ahead of the holiday, Calvary Baptist Church in Little Egg Harbor has a free community brunch on Nov. 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Located at 850 Railroad Drive, the church hosts free dinners open to the public on the second Tuesday of each month, and brunch on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
