GREENFIELD — For the fourth year in a row, The People’s Pint is hosting a Thanksgiving meal for a good cause — and everyone is welcome, no matter how much they can afford to pay.

“We just ask people to donate whatever they can, whatever they want to,” said Josh Breitner, general manager at The Pint. “Some people come and don’t pay anything, some people come and pay $100, and then all the profits that we make go to local charities.”

Last year’s Thanksgiving for the People raised $2,300 for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts and other local charities. The Federal Street restaurant will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday, serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, squash, apple crisp and cider. Last year, between 200 and 250 people attended.

“We’ll have anything from whole families coming and paying nothing or very little, which is fine, and sometimes people will even donate who don’t even come. People will leave a $40 check a week ahead of time, so it’s very nice,” Breitner said.

The People’s Pint began hosting the dinner four years ago after the restaurant’s former chef noticed there were a lot of people in town who didn’t have anywhere to go on Thanksgiving.

Breitner said the event is an important part of The Pint’s mission, as the restaurant does philanthropic work throughout the year, supporting local charities and efforts around food security, transportation, environmental and sustainability issues.

“This was a need that we saw could be filled, and it’s worked out really well,” he said.

Food for the meals is donated by local farms and businesses, including Diemand Farm, which provides the turkeys, Apex Orchards, Pine Hill Orchards, Snow’s Ice Cream, Squash Trucking, Girard’s Valley View Farm, Just Roots, PFG Springfield, Jekenowski’s Farm in Hadley and Artisan Beverage Cooperative.

“People are really excited about it. Everybody who comes really likes the food, really likes the mission. People seem to really appreciate the mix of individuals that end up here — you might be elbow-to-elbow with somebody you’ve never met before,” Breitner said. “It’s always fun. It’s a really good community feel, everybody seems to feel really positive, really happy, really grateful.”
