On Monday, November 25th at 1 pm, 200 Thanksgiving dinners-including turkeys and canned vegetables-will be donated to the Rescue Mission of Utica.

It means so much to our staff and guests to see them take time out of their busy schedules to give back to our community.

Our team takes pride in carrying on this meaningful tradition with the Rescue Mission each holiday season, added Comets President Robert Esche. For 12 years, players and staff have embraced this opportunity to give back and provide a holiday meal to those who need it most.

The meals will be delivered by Utica Comets players, coaches, and staff, underscoring the organization's ongoing dedication to supporting community members during the holiday season.
