It's later October and people are starting to plan for thanksgiving. I am looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with old friends. You know who you are, the volunteers that I have spent my Thanksgiving with for the last 20 years. It has been a generational effort. People have fallen in love. Friends have sense passed. Family's have made it tradition. A tradition that writes itself over 20 years is a rich one. One to be proud of, and we are! The phones are ringing in our office at Central Community. Family's are ordering thanksgiving dinners, getting it all planned out. We have the opportunity to be at the heart of their Thanksgiving. To let others know that we care. That the church hasn't forgotten many people are still experiencing financial hardships, don't have the means to get out of the house, or simply just need a helping hand. We want everyone to experience the joys of giving thanks. I am looking forward to volunteering with my family thanksgiving day. My wife. My parents. My sister. My in-laws. My Aunts and Uncles. My grandparents. If you want to start a new family tradition or add to an already great tradition this Thanksgiving we need your help. Call 951-689-5806 and find out how you can volunteer this Thanksgiving in Riverside, Ca.
