Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Happy Thanksgiving! As we congregate with friends, family, and good food, we remember why we celebrate this historic holiday: to gather in unity and to humbly reflect upon all we have to be thankful for. This Thanksgiving, may we also remember to observe the “giving” portion of the holiday by lending a hand to those in need.

Ways to Give Back this Holiday Season

Bean’s Café

As Bean’s Café works hard preparing meals for Thanksgiving Day, there are still a number of items that will help support their effort. Those items include turkey, ham, stuffing cubes, dinner rolls, butter, and canned cranberry sauce. Click here to view a complete list of items and to learn about making a donation to Beans Café.
