The Duluth Transit Authority offers free shuttle service to and from the Buffet. DTA buses will offer hourly service along Grand Avenue and Superior Street from 57th Avenue West to 24th Avenue East, and along Fourth Street from Fourth Avenue West to 24th Avenue East. We don't want anyone to be lonely at Thanksgiving. Many groups contribute to the Buffet's success, Krenzelok said. The Buffet's volunteers come from throughout the Twin Ports community, including individuals and groups from churches and civic organizations, Gold Cross Ambulance, schools and businesses.
Many businesses also contribute cash.
St. Scholastica provides volunteers, and raises funds to buy food through a competition among its students, faculty and staff. St. Scholastica food service operations manager Jack Teske is in charge of food preparation, which includes roasting 90 turkeys.
