Mansfield Restaurant Hosts Free Annual Thanksgiving Dinner

By Tammy Moore Teague
On Thanksgiving Day, November 22, Joyce’s Diner in Mansfield provided area residents with a free dinner. This is the second year owner Joyce Reppond has sponsored the event.
They served about 25 meals this year, and Reppond’s daughter, Jennifer Brewer, said they plan to do it again next year. Mansfield Mayor Mike Gipson said: “we live in such a great town, and it’s so generous for Joyce to do that.”
However, this isn’t the only generous act from the diner. Reppond has also donated 50 pounds of the pinto beans the city cooks up to serve at the annual Christmas parade.
“She does a lot of good things,” concluded Gipson.
