THANKSGIVING BASKETS PROJECT

Approximately four to six weeks prior to Thanksgiving, the LOVE I.N.C. office screens needy families in our communities and coordinates food baskets for them. The name and the size of the family are supplied along with suggestions for food items that they need. Some groups supply the food and also choose to supply a certain recipe(s) along with all the ingredients for the recipe(s) as a personal touch for the holiday meal.

Someone in your group will be asked to make contact with the family well in advance of your delivery so the family knows that they will receive a "Thanksgiving Basket". At an appropriate time before the holiday, your group, never just an individual, will deliver the "Thanksgiving Basket" and all the trimmings.

• Individuals, businesses, churches, schools, and families that are willing to provide food items, recipes, and personal contact are needed.
• Other grocery items, besides those for the holiday meal, may also be supplied.
• It is important to keep in mind the freshness of the items, especially meat. Sometimes written instructions for the cooking of the meat are helpful. A large aluminum pan in which to roast the meat is also recommended.
• Providing a Bible, Bible storybook, information about your church, or an invitation to a special church service is encouraged.

If you have any questions or you would like to become involved in this program, please contact the LOVE office.
