Thanksgiving in Franklin County is about neighbors looking out for neighbors. Volunteers at the Salvation Army on Lincoln Way serve and deliver dinners, churches in Chambersburg and Greencastle open their kitchens, and runners lace up in Greencastle before the oven goes on. I put this guide together from Eventbrite listings, Local.News and community resources so you can find what you need in one place, whether that’s a free meal, a place to volunteer, or something fun to do over the holiday.

Events are listed by date within each section. Plans change, so always confirm times and registration with the organizer before you head out.

Event information was gathered from Eventbrite and the public sources linked with each listing as of October 27, 2026, and is provided for convenience only. Dates, times, eligibility and availability are set by each organizer and may change. Free food distributions are typically first-come, first-served while supplies last. RE/MAX 1st Advantage is not affiliated with these organizations or events unless stated. Listings marked “2026 details pending” are annual events whose 2026 schedules had not been announced at the time of writing.
