Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks, and for Pat’s Pizza and Bistro, Bethlehem, it’s also a day to give back to the community.

As this Thanksgiving will be celebrated in the age of COVID-19, the Pat’s team will be making free meals for 200 locals in need on a first come, first serve basis. The meals – one meal per person – will be dished out beginning at 11 a.m. until supplies last on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26.

“We are going through tough times with the pandemic, and we’re not sure who is in real need for a meal,” said Pat’s owner Yianni Kyziridis. “We’ll do what we do, and will provide to the people in need.”

The 200 meals will be served onsite at Pat’s, located at 1426 W. Broad St., Bethlehem. The Pat’s team encourages those who do not have transportation available to them to reach out by way of email or Facebook, as Pat’s is prepared to make a limited number of deliveries to those who do not have a way of getting to the location.
