OUR SAVIOUR CENTER SPOTLIGHT: Our Saviour Center gives out turkeys, hams, and chickens at our annual Thanksgiving

Our Saviour Center was able to make a tremendous impact on our community through our Thanksgiving Meal Distribution where we handed out 375 turkeys, 300 hams, and 200 chickens to a total of 875 families to help them celebrate their Thanksgiving. This came after a critical time for our neighbors as we served 3,600 clients this past month.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to provide our community with the ingredients to celebrate Thanksgiving in addition to the vital resources we furnish every week. Our Thanksgiving Meal Distribution was made possible by the support of multiple individuals and organizations. We express our gratitude to Los Angeles First District Supervisor Hilda Solis and the San Gabriel Water Company, as well as the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank for their donation of turkeys. Additionally, we want to thank Assemblymember Mike Fong of the 49th District for his generous donation which enabled us to purchase additional turkeys.

We greatly appreciate all those who contributed to our Thanksgiving Meal Fundraiser. Your donations fueled this event, and our distribution occurred smoothly without issue thanks to all our volunteers who gathered at Our Saviour Center on November 24th and 25th to assist in packing, distributing, and cleaning up. We were blessed to have volunteers from both St. Mark’s and Church of Our Saviour, including Rev. Jeff Thornberg, who all arrived with so much energy and worked with great passion. Your interaction with our clients further enhanced their experience and truly embodied Thanksgiving.

Our Saviour Center is delighted to have such a network of strong supporters and community members who work tirelessly for those in need.
