Chelmsford Volunteer Serves Thanksgiving Lunch to Veterans

Nashoba Tech's hotel and restaurant management program and culinary arts students have taken part in the volunteer tradition for 15 years.

A Chelmsford resident did her part to help out local veterans this holiday season as part of a 15-year tradition with the hotel and restaurant management program at Nashoba Valley Technical High School.

Alysa Alvarado, a junior, joined her classmates, to serve a traditional Thanksgiving feast of turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, squash, peas, beverage, coffee and pie to about 100 veterans and staff members from local groups affiliated with the Veterans Administration.

Chef-Instructors Fran Zentgraf, Jeremy Bussiere and Carley Engle worked with students in both the culinary arts and hotel and restaurant management programs to prepare and serve the meal.
