Helping Others during this Thanksgiving Season


Helping Others during this Thanksgiving Season

We invite you and your family to participate in a special effort to help others during this Thanksgiving Season. With our partnership with North Raleigh Ministries it is our desire to provide a Thanksgiving Day meal for those in need in our local community. Here is how you can participate:

1. Bring food items to the church beginning Sunday November 16th through November 23rd. We need traditional Thanksgiving food items and also other items such as peanut butter, crackers, jelly, canned meats, breakfast items (cereals, grits, oatmeal, breakfast bars, etc.),dessert items (cake mix, pudding, Jello, etc.)and canned vegetables to help stock the depleting food shelves.

2. Make a cash donation of only $20 for the purchase of a turkey and food items for a family. Your cash donation will enable North Raleigh Ministries to purchase a turkey at a reduced price and insure the freshness and temperature of the meat.

3. Volunteers are needed to help prepare the food baskets during this Thanksgiving Season. There is a great need for people to volunteer their time to help at North Raleigh Ministries.

Stop by the display in the foyer of North Raleigh Church of the Nazarene this Sunday and next Sunday to assist us in helping others. Tom Gunter is our liaison to North Raleigh Ministries and will be available to answer any questions. Thanksgiving is a season of giving true thanks to God. One way to express thanksgiving in by giving to those in need.
