Thanksgiving Dinner via the Salvation Army
This year the Salvation Army plans to have meals boxed and delivered to seniors, disabled and homebound people; and host a drive-through system for people to pick up boxed meals from noon to 1pm.  They will not have guests in their building has they have in the past. 
 
However, we still need to supply the turkeys and hams as we have done in the past.  We need about $1,000 to pay for the turkeys and hams.  We currently only have around $300 due to not meeting face to face where the Piggy Banks are on the tables.  So, if you can, please send a check with your donation payable to MC Rotary, P.O. Box 9372, Michigan City, IN 46361-9372.  Be sure to indicate the check is for the Feed the Pig project. If you would rather pay online, click here to "Feed the Pig".
 
Also, we do still need volunteers on Thanksgiving Day for:
  1. 09:00 am - Transporting turkeys and hams from Blue Chip to The Salvation Army
  2. 10:30 am - Boxing the meals
  3. 11:00 am - Delivering meals to client homes (delivery drivers need to pre-screen, so if any Rotarians are interested, they can contact the Salvation Army office (219-874-6885) prior to Thanksgiving so they can do a background check).
  4. 12:00 pm - Distributing the meals
Show your commitment to Service Above Self by clicking the button below to volunteer.
