We get a lot of prayer requests, and while I think those are very important, I thought I would share a praise.
Each year our church gives away about 40 (or more) Thanksgiving baskets to families in need, so they can enjoy the holiday. This is in addition to our normal food pantry which also helps many of those same families.
I don't think I need to say it, but this is a fairly large expense, and we usually get our congregation to either give extra, or buy items off of a list for each basket.
Well, I just got an email saying that a local food service distributor is donating 60 turkeys for our Thanksgiving baskets. (they are also storing them until pick-up day which is not a negligible detail)
This is really something special for a community which has more than its fair share of unemployed families.
