Break out the turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and pie…it’s Thanksgiving time!
But a grand Thanksgiving feast is often out of the question for many families in poverty. So the folks at Unity in Christ Ministries in Moreno Valley are doing their part to help ensure that families don’t go hungry this holiday season.
“We just wanted to show some love,” says Billy Davis, the church’s pastor. We want to “show them that we believe in helping the community and those that might not have a thanksgiving meal, we wanted to show them that we can serve them a Thanksgiving meal so that certainly they won’t be hungry.”
It’s freezing cold outside, but inside the church, the warmth is palpable. Sure the heater’s on, but the general good vibes and hugs and smiles from the church volunteers also go a long way to make everyone feel warm and welcome.
