Tea Man
Don has been providing the mission with tea at Thanksgiving for many years. He was back this week with thirty-two gallons of tea for Thanksgiving Day!
To the Community – Come Eat!
The mission not only feeds the homeless on Thanksgiving Day. It also shares Thanksgiving dinner with the community. Jordan and his friends from Concord Baptist came and passed out flyers to invite the neighborhood in for the special meal.
Bartletts Are Back!
The Bartlett family helped during Thanksgiving last year. They were back Monday for the Potato Peel. They will return for the Turkey Pull Wednesday and are scheduled to play music on Thanksgiving Day!
Turkeys from Friends
Our friends Bev and Fred donated four turkeys for our Thanksgiving meal. They are also coming back for our annual Turkey Pull!
Turkey Thaw
The turkeys are thawing! The food preparations have begun for our big Thanksgiving Day lunch! We appreciate the overwhelming response we have had for volunteers on Thanksgiving Day. The food gifts have also continued to come into the mission.
Turkey Pull
We are looking forward to the mission's annual Turkey Pull! Staff and friends gather the evening before Thanksgiving to pull the meat off the turkey bones and slice the hams. This year we plan to debone twenty turkeys and slice fifteen hams.
Special Visit from David
Look who dropped by for a visit! Alicia brought David by the mission to say hello. He is now four weeks old!
Turkey Trot Contest
Our shelter guests are playing a fun game for the Thanksgiving holiday. They are picking the winners of the 9 rivalry college football games on Thanksgiving weekend. You can play too! Below is a link to our online game form. Link to contest form: https://goo.gl/forms/pTis9uVF2zANQuQ83
