FEAST OF HOPE 2023
This is a Thanksgiving Day meal when we plan to serve up to 1,200 meals to the community. We have done this for over 20 years. This year we will have take-out boxes for people who come to the church and also up to 650 meals that will be delivered to residents of homeless shelters, special needs housing programs, and home-bound senior citizens. We WILL have a clothing pantry this year. We need volunteers on Wednesday for set up and on Thanksgiving Day to deliver meals, help box meals, hand them out and help clean up, and experience the richness of a community celebration.
Takeout meals will be available at the church from
11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
