Al's Outreach Outtakes

A busy week at Holy Trinity! This past Friday we began handing out the 200 turkeys and bags full of the menu items you so generously donated. Smiles were everywhere as the families came to get their Thanksgiving meals. This year we again provided dinners to families through the Veterans Administration, Beaverton School District, Food Closet patrons and, new this year, Beaverton Family Promise. The Women’s Life Change Center and Veterans and Family Resource Center will also be preparing traditional Thanksgiving meals thanks to your generosity. All are truly grateful.
 
And, yes, that is the Giving Tree sitting in the Narthex. It is filled with gift requests from families associated with the Veterans Administration, Beaverton School District, Rose Haven, Women’s Life Change Center and the Veterans and Family Resource Center. There will also be tags for gift cards for homeless teens/veterans, auto gas cards and utility assistance. All of these are requested and needed throughout the year.
 
As a reminder, if you take a tag from the Giving Tree, please be certain to sign that tag out at one of the tables located near the Tree. Volunteers are available to assist.
 
If you take a tag, please, please, please be certain you have the gift returned to Holy Trinity no later than Sunday, December 8th. The Holy Trinity elves appreciate your getting them to us on time.

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for your incredible support!
