The Schooner Restaurant & Loungeâs annual Thanksgiving Benefit Dinner, which raises money for The Oregon Food Bank - Tillamook County Services, was once again a great success this year. Due to the stateâs COVID-19 restrictions during the Thanksgiving holiday, the in-person dining event had to switch gears and offer take out only.
âI was so concerned this year, with the state of the country, that we would not be able to pull off our annual benefit, and if we did, it would barely yield anything worthy of reporting,â said Lexie Fields, general manager of The Schooner. âOur final number, including the donation from The Creamery, was over $28,000.â
