Thanksgiving meals (free, fun, fabulous)

Food is so basic that many families in crisis are ashamed
when they are not able to provide the minimum requirement
 to go on living, and humiliated when they have to ask,
or depend  on charity to meet that basic need. 
  Thanksgiving is about a meal from
people who are thankful
to be able to give to
  thankful recipients.
It is a win win
 nothing
 more. 
See you there!
