There are many ways to help feed the hungry this Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving will soon be here and Second Harvest needs your help to ensure that no one goes hungry. Your donations to Second Harvest mean that families in need have somewhere to turn for food assistance. There are many ways you can help. Food donations are being accepted at the many food drive locations listed in this email. You can make a general contribution on our website that assures for every $1 donated the food bank provides more than $7 worth of food for someone in need. You can also sponsor a family for Project Thanksgiving.

Here’s what one family said about the help they received last year,

“We are a small family from Mohawk, Tennessee. During the holiday period of Thanksgiving and Christmas work slows down for my husband. The Thanksgiving box we received last year GREATLY HELPED us during a very tight time, to have a great & wonderful Thanksgiving. My husband loves turkey and appreciated the help received, as does my entire family. God Bless everyone that helps out!!”

Project Thanksgiving is a special project of Christian Radio 88.3 WCQR. This is the eighth year of the campaign which strives to provide a Thanksgiving meal box for 6,000 people in need of food assistance for Thanksgiving in Northeast Tennessee. During week one of the campaign 600 boxes were sponsored. We thank everyone for supporting this effort but more sponsors are need to meet the need. Will you please consider supporting Project Thanksgiving? Your donation of $25 provides a Thanksgiving meal box with all the ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving meal for a family of four. Please make your donation by November 12 so the food can be distributed in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Thank you to 88.3 WCQR radio for holding Project Thanksgiving for eight years!
