Thanksgiving Basket Program
OUR 2007 GOAL: DELIVER 1,000 BASKETS - FEED 6,000 NEEDY PEOPLE IN SAN PEDRO AREA
On November 20, 2007, the First Presbyterian Church of San Pedro will sponsor its 12th Annual Thanksgiving Family Baskets food program for needy families in the greater San Pedro area. In our first year we delivered 58 Baskets. We really have come a long way in helping needy families celebrate Thanksgiving.!
Through the generous support of church members and many other organizations and friends, we fed last year almost 6,000 needy people. And, we raised donations to purchase over 1,000 complete food baskets. Each basket allows a recipient family to receive food for approximately six people, complete with all the necessary canned and packaged food, trimmings and turkey, together with a Bible. The food Basket allows a family to prepare and serve its own meal on this special Thanksgiving Holiday.
