Thanksgiving update

I just got back from the food bank after walking for 1 1/2 hours and waiting in line for 3 hours. For all of that I've got almost everything I need to do a nice Thanksgiving day meal. I plan to take some around to some of the other camps in my area because there are a few folks who just do not wish to deal with the churches and shelters for a Thanksgiving day meal. Truthfully, I don't blame them for the most part. The biggest problem with going to one of the churches or shelters or even a street mission is that there will just be too many people. While the people who put on these wonderful dinners should be applauded and congratulated for all the work that they do and the time they invest to help others on holidays like this there are just too many people to deal with.

So with that in mind I started doing a small version of  the Thanksgiving celebration for some of my neighbors who did not go out. Last year I fed 4 other camps nearby and this year it looks to be the same number of camps just different people.

Thanks to the Community Food Pantry for the food box this year and to all of the people who were involved in obtaining and distributing the food.

I hope all of you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving holiday.
