The Big Announcement................Helping Hands: Thanksgiving

If you've been reading this blog for very long(or at all!) you know the great deals that can be found everywhere. I've been fortunate this year to cut my families budget by hundreds of dollars and stockpile for later use. I want to pass those savings on to another by offering a helping hand. So what is it that I want to do? God tells us to love our neighbors, I can do that by giving food. Specifically a basket full of everything you need for a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner.

How can you help? Nominate a family that you know in the local area (with in 50 miles of zip code 39565) that could use the blessing of a Thanksgiving meal donation this year. Go here fill out an application. All I ask is that it be a family in need that might not reach out for the help or doesn't "qualify" for help from another agency. Nominate more than one family, a neighbor, someone from church, a complete stranger. It doesn't matter.

You can also help (if you wish) by donation! Donate some of your stockpiled non-perishable food items that could be used for Thanksgiving dinner or donate money. Maybe with your help we can provide food for more than one family! Email me at thehouseofcollums@gmail.com if you would like to make a donation.

What: Thanksgiving Dinner
Who: A family in need
Go here to fill out an application to nominate a family.
When: Applications and donations will be accepted until November 16th.
