LOAVES & FISHES MINISTRIES, INC. NOVEMBER 2017 CALENDAR

THANKSGIVING! You all are so wonderfully generous to Loaves & Fishes throughout the year. We all give great thanks to you. This program would not exist without you.

We request that each of our groups, who are able, provide for Thanksgiving:

1 (12 to 15 lb.) turkey, cooked and sliced Gravy from drippings Macaroni and cheese to serve 10* Green beans to serve 10 2 bottles apple juice 1 Pumpkin pie or 1 Apple pie * Note change: Our clients have requested this change

If you don’t have extra time perhaps some could buy frozen macaroni and cheese or donate a wedge of sharp cheddar to help cut our costs to make this. We will make the stuffing.

Please contact us by November 10 th so that we can plan your group’s participation. Food should be brought to the kitchen on Wednesday afternoon (11/22 by 1:00 PM) or Thursday morning by 9:00 AM – latest. If you have any individuals who would like to volunteer on Thanksgiving, please have them contact us as soon as possible. We do try to give preference to our regular volunteers and many have already called. We possibly have a couple of spots left.

Many of our groups have requested the food needs for our Christmas dinner now so they are able to notify congregations, etc. and organize their response. We greatly appreciate this request so the food needs for Christmas dinner are:

1 5 lb. Ham – whole (which we’ll bake) or cooked and sliced Macaroni and cheese to serve 10* Green beans for 10 1 gallon of juice – cranberry *Note change: Our clients have requested this change.
