Thanksgiving Needs Update
Thank you for your generosity for our Thanksgiving Meal Fundraiser. In two weeks we were able to raise enough to provide meals for over 100 seniors in our community.
During this time, we were given the names of 20 more families that would benefit from a holiday meal and we're asking for your continued support to fund those meals.
The Como Community Council is once again working to make sure neighborhood seniors are not on their own this Thanksgiving. So, in partnership with the North End South Como Block Nurse Program and with TST Catering, we have a goal of providing meals for 100 seniors who are in isolation because of the pandemic. How you can help is simple:
- Make a financial donation. Every $10 you contribute buys one Thanksgiving meal: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, vegetables, a roll and, of course, dessert.
- Volunteer to deliver meals.
Once the Block Nurse Program needs are met, additional funds will go towards additional needs. Last year, the community donated enough for D10 to also partner with the North Suburban Kiwanis to distribute dinners and donate to the Salvation Army's Booth Brown House Youth Shelter Program's thanksgiving meals. We're hoping to do both again this year.
