Cops & Gobblers a thanksgiving food program we do...today we gave 225 families in our city, baskets of food for Thanksgiving...we had DOUBLE the volunteers this year, so the WGB and I did not have to deliver. AND usually we do 5 rounds with baskets putting the stuff in...this years there were so many volunteers we went twice around! We did 140 MORE baskets this year...that is how tight we are getting in this area...and I had to turn down families...which never feels good...but we do what we can...and keep the program at the quality we need to.
A few local businesses donate turkey gift cards...we use laundry baskets for the food so families can USE them all year...and from my bunny program we add stuffed bunnies to them for each kid.... The scary thing was this year we had to raise $10, 000 and it all came together in the end...but I stressed it!
But when you look at all those baskets ready to go...it just makes you feel good!
