Thanksgiving 2006

Thanksgiving 2006

Ten volunteers arrived at TASK at 8:30 a.m. to join our kitchen staff who arrived at 6 a.m. to begin preparations of our Thanksgiving meal. Additional shifts of 40 volunteers arrived at 10 a.m. and at Noon.

Patrons attending received a delicious hot meal of turkey, stuffing, yams, salad, cornbread, vegetable, cranberry relish, choice of fruit, and sweet potato pie. Beverages choices included fruit punch, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. We served approximately 400 patrons during the 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. time period.

When leaving, each patron received an additional duplicate hot meal, a lunch bag to go and a bag of candy.

After the initial rush, patrons were able to relax a bit and enjoy a second piece of pie and an additional beverage.

We thank all those who donated turkeys and additional food items. Your donations made our Thanksgiving dinner a very special occasion. And a very big thank you to all the volunteers who shared their Thanksgiving in the service of others.
