Thanksgiving Food Drive
           underway at Holy Trinity

THANKSGIVING - the great American Holiday which brings families together from far and wide, to sit together and enjoy the traditional feast with a table laden with the turkey and all the fixings. But to many of our neighbors, Thanksgiving will be just another ordinary day. Perhaps just another ordinary day with no food on the table at all.
We, the parishioners of Holy Trinity, can be involved in the great food drive for THANKSGIVING by filling our church food bins with non-perishable food items such as:
cranberry sauce, pie fillings, pie crusts, yams, baby food, gravies, flour, sugar, olives, vegetables, fruit, cake mixes, icing, stuffing bread mix, instant mash potatoes. Any food item that will not spoil.
Even in these very difficult economic times, we can make a huge difference in the lives of “the least of our brothers and sisters” by sharing something as simple as a can of coffee or cranberry sauce.

If you would like to donate a Turkey or any other fresh food products for the Thanksgiving Baskets, call the church office and Susie can let you know what date they will need them by.

PLEASE HELP US FILL OUR BINS TO OVERFLOWING
