Thanksgiving Holiday

---

Thanksgiving is a time of year when many people choose to give back to their community and donate to charitable causes. Because traditional Thanksgiving celebrations involve large family feasts, many charities that are popular around the holiday season are those that gather donated food for low-income families who cannot afford a Thanksgiving dinner. Additional charitable options include donating time by working in a soup kitchen, or simply donating money to a charity.

Hello Everyone: It has been brought to my attention that I missed a few
details, concernig our menu and specific needs for our Thanksgiving Dinner;

Our Goal Is To Prepare and Serve No Less Than 700 Meals; 300 meals served
to the homeless and needy from our mobile canteen and 400 meals served at
senior citizens apartment residents.

*It has been estimated that we will need at least 30-40 turkeys to feed 700
people (15-20 plates per turkey).

*Our MENU is tender mouth watering Turkey, delicious Macoroni & Cheese,
juicy Green Beans/Corn, Stuffing with Cranberry Sauce (jelled), a warm
Dinner Roll and Sweet Potatoe Pie, Soda (coke, etc.) and a Goody Bag of
mixed candy.

*It is a good idea for us (Captain Frazier) to purchase the items (Cheese,
pies, sodas, etc.) from Sam's Club and present the receipt to whom it may
concern, at a later date.

*The vegetables that we are using are canned and already purchased (on
hand/in stock).

*We will need 30-35 volunteers to help prepare plates, cut pies, load the
vehicles, stuff the goody bags, make sandwiches, maintain a clean work
space, serve meals from the mobile canteen.

*It Is Our Goal To Start at 9 a.m. and "cut the lights off" by 2 p.m. We
want our volunteers to spend time with there family on this holiday.
Currently we have 20 volunteers, but we need at least 10 (ten) more.

This is going to be the best Thanksgiving day ever! On last year, we
prepared and served 388 dinners to the homeless and needy. We have a
unique program, primarily because we serve meals outside the walls of our
facility to people who would otherwise go without, due to logistical or
personal reasons.

I Can't Hardly Wait; It's Going To Be A Great Day!

~Blessings
