PRESS RELEASE: Community Turkey Feed
Community Unites to Feed Families
Thanksgiving is a special time where we celebrate the many blessings that have been poured out on us. In deed, there is a lot to be thankful for. But the reality is that for many families, Thanksgiving is a difficult time. Many are reminded of just how hard of a year it has been and some aren’t seeing a way out. We would like to curb those thoughts and bring hope to those hurting, and we think you do as well.
In years past, we have handed out cooked meals or bags of non-perishable items. Through this process, a new thought arose- How can we do things better; different? What if we can bring the community together to achieve a common goal (much like we have done through our Backpacks Drives for Kids and our recent Clothes Closet)? We know that times are more than rough and people are struggling, and as a church, we want to be leaders in supporting families.
Therefore, on the day before Thanksgiving (November 24th, 2010), our church will be leading a completely different kind of project for the community. We will be gathering community members on the campus of the church from 1000a-500p, where we can all cook Thanksgiving meals together, and give to everyone as they have need. This project is for everyone.
If someone has a need for their family, they can come down and cook their family a meal as well as help cook another family’s meal. If someone has more than enough for their own family, they can give back by cooking alongside those who don’t have anything. What this does is bring together those that have resources with those that do not, and shows how we are all united in this struggle, as a community, and how joy arises from that.
Come see this incredible project Wednesday, November 24, 2010 from 1000a to 500p, as we unite our community to feed families!
