A Feast of Care: Mockingbird Hill Thanksgiving Celebration

The holidays can be a challenging time for many, and the Mockingbird Hill staff is committed to making the holidays — and being away from home, family and friends — a time of celebration and support by providing our residents the experience of warmth and community.

“It’s not easy for the men we serve to come to treatment and know they’ll be separated from the things that make them most comfortable, especially this time of year,” says Mockingbird Hill Treatment Facility Operations Manager Andrew Hendricks. “To have an opportunity to give some additional care and comfort with our annual Thanksgiving meal is something we really look forward to.”

Crafted with care by Mockingbird Hill Manager of Food Services Chef James Bryant and his team, the dynamic Thanksgiving spread celebrates the spirit of the season with nourishing dishes, heartfelt care and unwavering support for our residents.

“Chef puts so much work into the food he creates every single day,” Hendricks says. “We know he has a lot of pride in serving our population, and you can see it just by watching him work. Mockingbird Hill would not be what it is without Chef James, and we are grateful to him and his team for making this such a special meal for everyone involved!”
