Thanksgiving Shared Sunday

November 1^st and 2nd

This year the Human Development Committee will continue to participate with The Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf to provide for holiday meals for families in need.   The Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf offers Aldi gift cards to families to purchase their own Thanksgiving holiday meal.   They have done this for the last few years, and the feedback from their families was overwhelmingly positive. They said “Our volunteers get to hear the words of gratitude and see the tears of joy when we distribute these gift cards. You should be the ones who hear of the various struggles so many of our neighbor’s experience…with shortened work hours, broken down cars or appliances, multiple health issues, or family members returning home because they cannot make it on their own. “

In light of this, members of the Human Development Committee will be in church the weekend of November 1^st and 2nd to collect Aldi gift cards to provide to the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf.   They request $20 Aldi Gift Cards. This allows them to give out cards based on family size. (Note:  If you don’t see $20 Gift cards, you can ask when you check out.  They can put $20 on a gift card.)

Our Thanksgiving Collection has always been successful based on your overwhelming generosity.  The Human Development Committee thanks you for your generosity.
