How You Can Help

1. Pray for the event.

2. Attend the meetings. We will be meeting every other Thursday for the first few meetings, then will switch to every Thursday closer to the date. In addition to representing your church or organization and keeping us informed of their participation, it is also important for to be there to help on various jobs before and during the event.

3. There will be many ways for your church or organization to participate. We will need people to agree to cook desserts, green beans and corn and bring them in on Thanksgiving morning ready to be served. We will need about 120 people to help deliver and several people to help get the boxed dinners ready to travel.

4. We will also need people to help with the preparation work Wednesday night beginning around 6:00 which will include lifting some heavy equipment, slicing 440 pounds of turkey, bagging up over 1800 soft drinks and packing 450 bags of literature, and a few strong backs to help very early on Thursday morning with heating the pans of turkey and then loading them to go to Cedar Hill.

5. If you are a representative of a church or other organization, you will be given a sign-up list for the people you represent to commit to what they would be willing to do on the Wednesday before and on Thanksgiving morning itself. Everyone should be finished and ready to go home no later than 2:00, and most will be finished before that.

6. We will need help in getting the word out to those throughout the county who need a meal so that they can call in and get it reserved.

7. We will be needing financial contributions to make the meal possible. We buy the turkey and dressing, whatever paper goods and other supplies that aren’t donated, the rolls, and whatever else we need or run out of.
