π¦ **HELP\! WE HAVE A LITTLE TURKEY TROUBLE\!** π¦
The need in our community is growing, and the Ecumenical Church Food Pantry needs your help!
Over the past year, we have seen an unimaginable increase in the number of families needing assistance. We are now serving more than 500 families every month through our Tuesday and Thursday food pantry distributions. That's a 48% increase over last yearπ’
As Thanksgiving approaches, the calls for help with holiday meals have been pouring in. We have increased our goal from 250 to 300 Thanksgiving food boxes to meet the growing need. While we are grateful for the support of Care and Share, our current estimate is that we will receive only 107 turkeys. Unfortunately, that means we may not have a turkey for every family who receives a Thanksgiving box. π’
We need our community to come together to help make Thanksgiving special for these families!
We are reaching out to individuals, churches, organizations, and local businesses to ask for your support. Please prayerfully consider donating a turkey (or two!) or making a monetary donation to help us purchase the additional turkeys needed.
β€οΈ HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP:
π¦ Donate a Turkey: We will be accepting turkey donations on Saturday, November 21st, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the church parking lot, just prior to our Thanksgiving food box distribution.
Please note: Unfortunately, we do not have the freezer space to accept turkey donations before that date.
π²Make a Monetary Donation: Every dollar helps us get closer to our goal\! You can donate securely through our website at: https://www.ecopw.org/
Please be sure to put "TURKEY" in the memo so we know your donation is designated for this need.
You can also call the church at **719-547-3088** to arrange a time to drop off a donation or for more information.
The Ecumenical Church is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Let's make sure that no family has to go without a Thanksgiving turkey this year! Whether you can donate one turkey, several turkeys, or a monetary gift of any size, every bit of help makes a difference.
Thank you for always showing up for our neighbors and helping us care for those in need. It truly takes a community, and we are so blessed to be part of this one!β€οΈ
