Thank you so much for all of your help over the weekend with the annual
Holiday Meal. The energy in the building was extremely positive and it was
evident that everyone participating was enjoying themselves. Approximately
313 guests attended the meal. Leftover food was delivered to the Harrison
House. Unused cans of food are being delivered to the Alameda County Food
Bank. Unclaimed clothing is being brought to a local Goodwill. The impact
of this single event will also be felt when students put together toiletry
kits in March for delivery to a local shelter. It is an understatement to
say that this was a team effort to make the Holiday Meal such a success.

Big thanks go out to the Binder Family as Eleana Binder was the organizer
of the meal and her father played a huge role in the kitchen. Thanks also
to Tom Watts for getting the tree and delivering the food to the Harrison
House among other necessary tasks. Sydney Kennedy was the head chef as he
was crucial in planning and preparing the meal.

The following businesses contributed to the meal: Andronico's, Trader
Joe's, Cheeseboard, ACME Bread, Home Depot, The Local Butcher Shop. Local
families also gave many prepared turkeys, hams and other awesome dishes.

AND a big thanks to the nearly 300 volunteers who showed up during the
three shifts. This could not be done without your help! If you need me to
document that you volunteered, email me the form or stop by the office.

If you can't wait until next year's Holiday Meal, consider looking up the
hours and dates of a local soup kitchen to volunteer. (St. Mark's Episcopal
