Good morning!
Thanksgiving is in just 21 days! In this time of need we want you to know that there are several different events and opportunities for people to get help with food or Thanksgiving dinner.
Concho CAN is hosting a community dinner on the 21st. At Mellon Center (99 frontage road)
There will be a community meal at Concho Elementary School on 11/14 from 4-6 in the cafeteria. Chicken, Mashed potatoes and veggies.
Making Magic is going to give out full turkey dinners with instructions to cook in a pit of you don’t have the means to cook a turkey. On 11/25, for details go to their page or ask their board members.
Concho Community Coalition is hosting the Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner on Thanksgiving (11/27) any questions can be texted to 928.245.6737 or send a message to our page.
These are several very good opportunities to pick up food.
Please take advantage of all of them, in these trying times the more the better so you can stock up. Even if you pick up a turkey dinner for your family you are 100% still welcome to come eat at the Community Thanksgiving dinner. That can be cooked in addition or even saved for Christmas. Don’t hesitate to “double dip” to make sure your family can eat.
In addition to these opportunities the School and Concho CAN are both running food drives with raffles to win pretty awesome prizes. So if you have food that you can spare (shelf stable, not expired) please do and enter to win tattoo gifts certificate or a whole convection oven that fits a small bird!
OCCAC is also got the regular Food box days and I believe working on Holiday boxes as well. So remember “Triple dip” if you need to. No one should go hungry, ever.
We as a community need to stick together when times get tough. No matter who you are, your political affiliation, your personal differences, we have to take care of each other and be there for our neighbors!
I’m praying for all of you out there and hope this crisis ends soon. In the meantime….spread the love!
