This year marks the 7th year for the Jerry Lewis' McDonald's Thanksgiving Day Dinner, which was started in 1989 by the Chester Carey Family.
The Jerry Lewis' McDonald's Thanksgiving Day Dinner will be held on Thursday, Nov. 24 from 11a.m. to 2p.m. at the Lima Veteran's Memorial Civic and Convention Center.
Lewis says, "Each year the dinner continues to grow, a great deal of which is due to the economy. We know that now, more than ever, it is important to have a place for people to eat and fellowship on a special day like Thanksgiving."
