THANKSGIVING BASKETS
Many of our refugee clients who come from African and South East Asian countries are unfamiliar with a “traditional” American Thanksgiving meal but would love and appreciate the opportunity to have a celebratory meal.
In recognition of their preferences we have created this alternative list: Rice - Jasmine or Basmati Dried Beans: Kidney or Black Regular Spaghetti Noodles Cans of Pasta Sauce Corn meal Green or black tea bags Salt Sugar Olive/Canola/Vegetable Oil (plastic bottles only please) $25 Gift Card for Meat and Fresh Items
CLC is also accepting donations of money and will do the shopping for you. Please put a check in the offering plate and mark it “Thanksgiving baskets” or place your check in the envelopes provided for the baskets in the Narthex. Thrivent Financial has generously agreed to make a $400 donation for the Thanksgiving bags. Please take one of the blue bags in the narthex and fill it with some or all of these items, along with the gift card, and return it to the Narthex by Sunday, November 25, 2013 for delivery to LFS that week. If you have questions or need assistance, contact Debby in the church office 303-791-0803.
