Where to get a free Thanksgiving meal

Everyone should get to experience the post-Thanksgiving-meal food coma if they want to. But for many, the expense is just too much. If you or your friends and family members need help, these organizations will make sure your table (and your stomach) are full.

There are some steps for signing up in advance, so do it as soon as you can.

Note: many organizations haven’t released information on their Thanksgiving plans, so this is far from a comprehensive list. We’ll send out updates on Twitter and Facebook as we confirm details of other meals.
