Thanksgiving time again, Thanksgiving for Thousands

Well another November has come and at Dagsboro Church of God we are and have been working on Thanksgiving for Thousands. This is an outreach event that started over 20 years ago way back in 1994 when our church started making hot dinners and serving them on Thanksgiving day. This all happened inside the church and volunteers even delivered hot meals to those who could not come out. Well by the third year of doing this Dagsboro Church of God was feeding over 1000 people. Then in order to help more people we partnered with a local chicken company and started boxing the dinners and passing them out a few days before Thanksgiving to allow family's the opportunity to sit down in their homes and enjoy the day. This year the program has expanded to serve the most people ever, this year 10,000 boxes with a meal for 6 that will feed people in need all over the Delmarva Peninsula. By having boxed meals it allows us to help more people in more locations. We have over 125 local groups (charity and other non profit groups) that we are able to help with these 10,000 boxes of food as well as serving those who call as ask for assistance. Overall we will help feed around 45,000 people this Thanksgiving!

If you are in need of a meal this Thanksgiving, you can call the Dagsboro Church of God at 302-732-6550 Monday-Thursday 9am-3pm up until November 13 or wile they are still available. Also if you are interested in helping to pack the meal that will happen on Monday November 24th at the Mountaire warehouse in Selbyville, DE beginning around 8am till they are done.

Distribution will take place the following day on Tuesday November 25th from 9am-3pm in many locations across Sussex County.
