Good morning, Reading.

Berks County celebrated Thanksgiving traditions as local groups hosted turkey trots— a free 5K run and community feasts with hot meals provided by organizations such as The Hope Rescue Mission in Reading, The Boyertown Salvation Army, and CARE Inc. during the holiday.

Volunteers from Reading High School, churches, and local businesses served 150 free Thanksgiving meals at Marvel Ranch on November 27 — a key part of a wider Berks County effort that fed many people in need.

Over 100 helpers cooked, packaged, and delivered meals early that morning, continuing a long-standing tradition of community service.

A new dirty soda business in Berks County opened in September and has quickly received a warm response from locals.

The family-owned venture makes sodas with flavored syrups and local cold brew while planning pop-up events with plow farms on Black Friday weekend and local partnerships through Thanksgiving.
