Donate a Delicious Thanksgiving Meal

Posted on 10.30.12
For many of us, Thanksgiving dinner is an important meal, representing tradition, gratitude for what we have — and the joy of good food, friends and family. For people who are sick, these comforts are especially important.
Each year, our clients get to choose between two Thanksgiving meal options:

1. Those who feel up to cooking receive a frozen, local free-range turkey with all the fixings.

2. Those who are too sick to cook receive a beautifully roasted, local free-range turkey with all the fixings, which we deliver on Thanksgiving Day.

You can help raise the spirits of a client this Thanksgiving with your gift of $45 to sponsor a beautifully roasted, organic turkey for their holiday table.

UPDATE!
Since we filled the Turkey-o-Meter, come in on Thursday morning to see Asei and Jennifer dressed up in turkey suits! If you can’t make it in on that day, don’t worry — we’ll make sure to post photos of the gobblers on our Facebook page.

BONUS!
If you want to make your turkey gift in someone else’s name, we’ll send you a festive turkey card to give to them!
