Help care for our community this Thanksgiving!  Our church family is coming together again this year to provide 100 Thanksgiving baskets for Frisco Family Services Center, as well as several additional bags of groceries for our neighbors in our community.  The goal at Frisco Family Services Center is to provide low-income families, families in crisis, and senior citizens with a special Thanksgiving meal package.  The traditional foods that make the holiday special are typically not available from the food pantry.  The meal baskets include items such as a turkey and all the trimmings as well as items for breakfast and lunches.  Since the majority of these families have children that are on the free breakfast and lunch program, this helps provide for some of those needs that can dip into their weekly budget which is already being stretched.

Together we will provide over 6,000+ items needed for these boxes and bags.  What a beautiful picture of the body of Christ coming together.  It's so satisfying to see how one person can offer up something as simple as a can of green beans or a jar of coffee, and when we come together, we can provide for over 100 families!  Thanks for helping care for our community by serving these families in need!

We collect the 6,000+ items needed for these boxes from Sunday, October 30 to Wednesday, November 9.  Be sure to stop by the Thanks for Giving table in the Atrium beginning Sunday, October 23, and pick up one of the specific food item cards to add to your shopping list.  We will need volunteers Saturday, November 12 to assemble the baskets.

Here is a shopping list of all items still needed for the Thanks for Giving boxes and bags.
