We need any and all food donations. What kind of food do we need? Turkeys, ham, potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, dressing, rolls and all of the other things you and I typically enjoy during Thanksgiving dinner. Whipped Cream and Pumpkin pie. Pecan pie and other sweets and treats. We also need drink donations. Lemonade. Coffee. Ice Tea.
Musicians. Can you play the guitar? The bongos? The piano? Get my drift? We would love to have music during dinner.
People willing to clean up during and after dinner. Clean up is not a glamorous job and has the least bit of glory but it is very important.

Why do we serve Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless? Last year Ron came for Thanksgiving dinner. He felt uncomfortable with the clothes he was wearing. Someone from our church gave him a clean shirt and a tie to wear for dinner. Look at the smile on Ron's face in the photo below. That's just one of the reasons that we serve Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless. You, your family and friends are invited to join us.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. My birth family began a tradition after we grew up of inviting to dinner anyone we knew who didn't have a family to spend the day with.

For the last 20 yrs I've been 1300 miles away from them and no longer share this treasured time.
ReplyDeleteSo I found a new family to spend the day with. My house will celebrate on Friday, because on Thursday I'll be with my sisters in Christ who are presently incarcerated at the local jail. Our church cooks turkey dinner for the whole facility. My privilege is to address the women who are separated from their families, remind them that in Christ they have another family, and invite those not yet part of the family to join the rest of us.
And in the brief minutes that I speak to prisoners, officers, and church members, I'll be thanking the Lord in my heart for His blood, being adopted into His family, and being among family.
P.S. I make it a point to wear orange on that day, to match the jumpsuits the inmates wear. :D
