We are excited to begin the preparation for the Holiday Meal 2016!



Zoey Horowitz, Chief of Service, and her committee are organizing the
Holiday Meal this year to prepare for this amazing event where 300-400 meals
are served. There is a preparation and set-up shift on Friday, December 9th
while the actual meal will be served on Saturday, December 10th from 12:30
pm - 3:00 pm. Our goal this year is to surpass 15,000 pounds of donated
food and funds. Here is how you can help.



We are in the most need of canned goods, prepared food, and donations for
the toiletry drive. Any extra Thanksgiving ingredients lying in your
cabinets would make a great contribution to the meal. Please consider
sending your student to school with a few cans to drop off at the bins
located outside of the leadership office in the main building.



The following video and photo links demonstrate the magnitude and impact of
the meal, if you have not been a part of it before.
