Friends, it’s that time of year… when football, bonfires, and cozy sweaters are a part of our lives, along with … reflecting on our blessings and preparing to deliver Thanksgiving gift bags to our Meals on Wheels friends! We need 33 volunteers to fill bags with holiday staples and treats. A sign-up sheet has been placed in the church volunteer’s office, and we would ask that you fill a bag (or two) and return them to the office by Thursday, November 13th, so they can be organized and prepared for delivery on Saturday, November 22nd. Please consider picking up a bag and giving of yourself so we can bring joy to the lives of some very deserving folks.
Frankie England (662-695-1277) and Barry Schuster (662-822-0071) will spearhead delivery of the gift bags. You may contact either of these ladies to offer your services in helping with delivery. For other questions about the bags, feel free to contact Kathleen Montgomery (662-931-4597).
