Lafayette, Louisiana, and surrounding areas are in for a treat this Thanksgiving season as the Good Fight Foundation gears up for its 3rd annual Thanksgiving meal pickup event.
As we countdown the days to Thanksgiving, many of us are excited about the meal, while some may even be excited about the company and family you'll see.

In 2022, over 150 runners participated in "Jean Paul's Race." To commemorate his spirit and generosity, Robin Judice Bostick established the JPJ Memorial Turkey Trot nonprofit organization. This new organization will serve as a platform to raise funds for various causes, reflecting Jean Paul's unconditional love and his desire to help those in need. This year, the event is partnering with Catholic Charities of Acadiana to raise money for St. Joseph Diner, a local charitable organization.
Not everyone in South Louisiana wants to cook a big meal on Thanksgiving *GASP*. In fact, some prefer to dine out at restaurants, enjoying the holiday without the hassle of kitchen duty. This can be a practical choice for smaller families or individuals who want to avoid food waste and cleanup. Additionally, many restaurants offer special Thanksgiving menus, providing an opportunity to savor a professionally prepared feast.
Thanksgiving week is upon us and homes everywhere are going to start smelling delicious. For dog owners who let their pups partake in the festivities, make sure you give this list a once over.
Many Louisiana residents were surprised to learn just how many days it takes to safely thaw a turkey for Thanksgiving. You might need to get started on that.
