Butte Central's LaVerne Combo Thanksgiving Dinner: A Half-Century Tradition of Giving and Community Spirit

Butte Central Thanksgiving dinner, also known as the LaVerne Combo Thanksgiving Dinner, is an annual heartfelt community event hosted by Butte Central Catholic High School. This year's dinner will be held on Tuesday, November 18th, 2025, at 5 PM in the Butte Central High School gymnasium.

The event focuses on providing a traditional Thanksgiving feast for the elderly and homebound of Butte, including local seniors, the developmentally disabled, and others in need who might otherwise go without a holiday meal.

The meal is entirely free, funded by donations, and prepared and served by the student body, faculty, staff, and friends of the school. The menu features classic Thanksgiving dishes like turkey, stuffing, vegetables, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. For those who cannot attend in person, delivery is available at no cost by arrangement through the school's office.

Reservations for dining in or meal delivery must be made by calling the Butte Central High School office at (406) 782-6761 by Thursday, November 14th, at 4 PM.

This tradition is cherished for its spirit of community service and generosity, providing not just food but also companionship and warmth during the holiday season to those who need it most in the Butte community
