‘It’s an opportunity:’ Portland brewery, pub feed community on Thanksgiving

PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - This Thanksgiving, Portland businesses made sure people had a warm place to go and a warm meal to eat.

“The idea to try and help each other out is the whole idea of Thanksgiving,” community member Richard Peterson said.

Peterson attended Prost!’s 17th annual free Thanksgiving dinner. He recently moved to the area.

“I don’t really have any place to celebrate yet,” he said, “and so, I just came out here to enjoy. I think it’s a really great idea.”
