Beginning on Thanksgiving Eve, volunteers arrived to help serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal at our Shepura Men's Center. Volunteers also arrived on Thanksgiving Day at the men's center and at Jessie's Place, our shelter for women and children, to help feed the hungry there. Our Royal Pines Recovery Center was also able to celebrate their thanks as well.Helping hands hit the road...
Volunteers (of all ages) showed their support
to those less-fortunate by giving of their time
Our concerned community also came out and helped deliver meals to local seniors and shut-ins. They donated their holiday to help make sure others received a warm meal and a kind word.
Thank you for your support...There are also the untold amount of supporters that helped make all these meals possible by their donations to sponsor a meal. Beginning at just $1.95 to sponsor a meal for one hungry and homeless person, several gave to help feed the homeless and hungry men, women and children at all three of our facilities.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
