The people of Grace are an incredibly generous bunch. We are in the midst of our yearly Thanksgiving outreach. Thank you for serving our community by purchasing a complete Thanksgiving meal(s) for families who are struggling under the weight of poverty or extreme health issues. I’m often asked this question. “Who exactly receives the meals?” We work in partnership with several local relief and medical organizations such as GECAC, Family Services, Mother-To-Mother, Big Brother-Big Sister, Visiting Nurses Association, Regional Cancer Center, Mercy Center, local hospice chapters…etc. They represent people who are seriously trying to better their lives yet remain far below the poverty line. They are learning how to budget, be better parents, how to manage as a single mom or dad. On the medical side, we support families that have seriously ill members. Dad or mom has cancer or other life threatening diseases.
We have the privilege of injecting some hope into these homes on a holiday that centers around a very special meal. When a family can’t afford the meal or is too sick to consider putting it together…Thanksgiving can be very painful.
If you haven’t made a donation yet and still want to participate, simply click on the Thanksgiving Outreach section on the whoisgrace.com homepage.
Thanks you Grace Church for being Christ to our community!
