Rescue Mission

Last year, we started what I hope will be a long standing Thanksgiving tradition. On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we served at the local rescue mission - handing out food to those in need. The mission gathers donations and has everything all set up. The recipients attend a short chapel service, then file through the line. Volunteers assist with moving the boxes along the assembly line and getting to know the recipients while additional volunteers put food into the box as they pass by. The boys are really good at helping unbox the canned goods and restocking the supply at the tables. They remember serving last year and were really looking forward to it again this year. I love watching the joy that my children experience from giving to others!

This year, a "special guest" was on hand... a silly guy dressed as a turkey! He was a big hit!
