Hearty Harvest


Hi everyone,

Our church is participating in the Hearty Harvest, a Compassion Network Thanksgiving project this year!  If you haven't heard the details yet, no worries! Here's some more background information!

Hearty Harvest is a Thanksgiving turkey dinner give away program that multiple congregations will join with 6 Agencies in the City Serve Family Resource Center to serve some of the neediest families in the Tri-City area.  Our church has pledged 75 sets of Thanksgiving meals to the Hearty Harvest project!

Each family's grocery bags should include the ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, i.e. a frozen turkey, stuffing/dressing, chicken broth, turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, canned veggies, gift card ($10) for perishable items and more listed in the attachment.

Please consider participating in one or all of the ways below:
- Pray for this multi-congregational project to serve needy families
- Sign-up to buy groceries as an individual or family (see sheet attached with a list of these items for the English Congregation goal of 20 meals.)
- Donate. Suggested minimum donation $40/family, $20/adult
- Grocery shopping together, Sat. Nov 14th, 10am at FoodMaxx / Smart & Final in Fremont or organize one with your fellowship group!
- Help bag groceries together on Sunday, Nov. 15th at 2pm at church

We're very excited for the opportunity to serve the community in this way.
Please prayerfully consider participating as we partner with Compassion Network for this Hearty Harvest project!

Patricia
