Terranea Resort Donates Thanksgiving Dinners To Palos Verdes Residents

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CA — Terranea Resort is offering free Thanksgiving dinners to residents of Rancho Palos Verdes affected by land movement and utilities shutoffs.

Individual dinners will be packaged compliments of Terranea Resort and will be delivered by volunteers to residents from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday.

"Our hearts go out to the Rancho Palos Verdes community residents affected by the recent landslides," said Ralph Grippo, President of Terranea Resort. "During this season of gratitude, we are especially thankful to be part of such a resilient and cherished coastal community. We value our connection with our neighbors and hope to bring a sense of comfort and joy during the holiday season."

Terranea's decision is part of the ongoing Mend the Bend relief effort serving impacted residents, many of whom have been without gas and/or electricity since the summer. Mend the Bend has hosted weekly dinners for impacted residents with food donated by local restaurants.
