Annual
Fr.
Charles A. Ryan Memorial Thanksgiving Food Drive
| What: |
Thanksgiving Food Drive |
| Where: |
St.
Clare of Assisi Catholic Church - parking lot |
| When: |
November 17, 2007 - 5pm to 6:30pm
November 18, 2007 - 7am to 12 noon |
| Why: |
Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and joy. A time of
food, family, and counting our blessings. But, not
everyone is as blessed as we. Part of being thankful for
our good fortune is using that to help others.
The Knights will be collecting
food and cash to distribute to needy families. Please,
help us to help them have something for which they can truly be
thankful. |
| Our
Goal: |
This
year, we are seeking to put together 50 complete meals and $500.
Money will be used to purchase rolls and pies (things that spoil
quickly) the day before they are delivered. Any excess
money will be used to help feed the poor. |
| What
we Need to Collect: |
A complete
food basket, designed to feed a family of 4 to 6 people, will
contain the following: 1 - 10
to 12 pound Frozen Turkey (FROZEN, please)
2 - Cans of Turkey Gravy
2 - Cans of Sweet Potatoes
2 - Cans of Whole Kernel Corn
2 - Cans of Peas or Green Beans
2 - Cans of Cranberry Sauce
2 - Boxes (or packages) of Stuffing Mix
1 - Large Box of Instant Mashed Potatoes
1 - Gallon of Apple Juice
2 - pounds of Apples
