In years past I had heard Angee talk about "the turkey box's", last year i finally asked what that was? Her husband KG has been involved with a Thanksgiving Dinner Project organized by St Vincent De Paul. Any family who meets the criteria is allowed to pick up a turkey dinner to provide their family for Thanksgiving. We volunteered with them this year and it was simply amazing!
For over 40 years, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has sponsored
an annual Thanksgiving food box outreach program for those in need.
This is a family-to-family act of charity. Families share the tradition
of Thanksgiving by preparing food boxes and giving them to other
families in need.
All seven Boise and Meridian Catholic parishes plus a number of
congregations of our Protestant and LDS friends participate in this
project. This is an opportunity for families to help families in need.
Last fall, we distributed more than 2,600 turkeys with all the trimmings
for a complete Thanksgiving dinner for nearly 12,000 people. We expect
a record number of requests this year. We need your help to meet this
need.
Thanks for the invite Angee! Can't wait till next year!
