Angie Summers and her husband began hosting Thanksgiving Day breakfasts three years ago, after her very personal experience with loneliness during the Holiday Days.

“When I came to Junction City I was actually living in a hotel and I didn’t have family here, and when the holidays came around you’re not always able to travel back and be with your family; I spent quite a few lonely days in the hotel, especially around the holidays,” said Summers.

After meeting and marrying her husband here in Junction City, Summers expressed the desire to serve the public – and that’s what she did.

Serving as a volunteer for The Caring Place, a Board member for The Open Door in Junction City, an active member of her church Living Word International Ministry – Summers and her husband founded the non-profit organization Community Servants.

“We decided that we would welcome people who did not have anywhere to go – they weren’t necessarily homeless – but it’s something that we recognize that there are people in our midst that our in our churches, our neighbors..but they’re still lonely, and sometimes around the holiday that increases,” said Summers.

Initially, the Thanksgiving Day Breakfast was held in the Summers’ home – this year it will be in the Municipal Building at 700 N. Jefferson in Junction City.

Doors open at 8:00 am for Seniors and Veterans; all community members are welcome at 9:00 am. The breakfast will end at 11:30 am.

Volunteers are still needed, specifically to provide entertainment. Summers is asking for singers, musicians, choirs, karaoke singers, and even storytellers to provide entertainment while guests are being served.
