Caring for Friends, 12271 Townsend Road, recently welcomed volunteers, donors and partners for an evening of food, music and a bonfire.

The evening included s’mores while sitting on hay bales in front of a fire. There was also beer, wine, raffles and a 50-50.

Meanwhile, Caring for Friends CEO Vince Schiavone said the agency is seeking donations to provide meals for homebound people for Thanksgiving.

Turkeys, shelf-stable food, money, gift cards and volunteers are needed.
