With Halloween right around the corner, it may be hard to think about Thanksgiving quite yet. However, the Columbia Area Career Center is eager to get into the season and is preparing Thanksgiving meals this week. People can pick up meals from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Friday on the north side of Columbia Area Career Center at 4203 S. Providence Road.

People can choose between a turkey and vegetarian meal, both of which come with sides and dessert, for $10 each. All payment is due when food is picked up. Cash or checks are preferred, however credit card payments are accepted with a processing fee.

CACC is a part of the Columbia Public School District, serving the community by providing CTE programs and courses to a variety of ages.

Pre-orders are expected to sell out and limited, if any, walk-in orders will be accepted. To pre-order your Thanksgiving meal, click here.
