Princess Team Serves Thanksgiving Dinner

The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club team recently visited the Salvation Army’s North Street Citadel in Hamilton where they distributed 200 Thanksgiving meals.

A spokesperson said, “Recently, the team from Hamilton Princess & Beach Club visited the Salvation Army’s North Street Citadel in Hamilton, for their annual Thanksgiving dinner service.

“Hotel executives distributed 200 traditional Thanksgiving meals consisting of roasted turkey with gravy, stuffing, glazed Christmas ham, macaroni and cheese, cassava pie, pumpkin rice, green beans, and a vegetarian offering of a chickpea and vegetable curry served with jasmine rice. The dinners all included ginger and sugar cookies, made by the hotel’s pastry chefs.”

Tim Morrison, General Manager, Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, said: “This is the sixth year that Hamilton Princess has supported Salvation Army’s ‘Booth’s Bistro Community Meal’ by serving Thanksgiving dinner. This service is a meaningful opportunity for us to connect with our community and share in the spirit of gratitude.”

Corps Officer, Captain Cathy Esdaille, of The Salvation Army, said: “These partnerships are a true blessing for The Salvation Army. With so many Bermudians struggling under economic pressure and rising daily expenses, we may never realize just how much difference one meal can make in someone’s life.”

Tim Morrison continued: “The annual Salvation Army dinner is one of the hotel’s first events to kick off our festive season of giving, and this year, we are broadening our festive outreach efforts. On Tuesday, December 16th, we will host our inaugural Christmas Wish Breakfast Gift Drive, taking place from 7am to 10am.

“Members of the community are invited to donate unwrapped gifts for children and families across Bermuda, with donations distributed through local charity partners including The Gina Spence Program, The Family Centre, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda. Each person who donates will be welcomed to enjoy a complimentary buffet breakfast with us, and prepared by the hotel’s culinary elves. We look forward to welcoming everyone for a joyous and meaningful morning, and we extend a heartfelt thanks to all who can participate and help make the festive season a bit brighter for those who wish it.”
