Let's Talk Turkey (and Chicken)!It's time to talk turkey, and this year we're also talking about chicken, to help our neighbors in need enjoy a holiday meal.
We need your help! Our goal this year is to help 500 families during our Thanksgiving Meal distribution on Monday, November 21st. How can you help? Donate a frozen turkey or frozen whole chicken. Chicken?!? Unfortunately, there is a bit of a shortage when it comes to turkeys this year and the turkeys available are more expensive. We have made the decision to collect whole chickens as well to hand out to our smaller families so that everyone can enjoy some kind of poultry with their holiday meal. Donations are being accepted now through Friday, November 18th. Monday through Friday 8:30-12:00 and also Wednesdays 4:00-6:00 each week.

Wow, it was so amazing to see the way everyone came together for our 3rd Annual Community Food Drive. Donations rolled in all morning long at Divine Savior where we had hundreds of volunteers eagerly waiting to receive items and sort them for the food bank. Community leaders rallied their groups for the common good, to help feed our neighbors in need.
In the end we collected 20,700 pounds of food and $8900 in cash donations. The words "Thank You" do not begin to convey how truly grateful we are that people are so willing to help. Enjoy a few pictures from this wonderful day. |
