Volunteers Put the 'Giving' in Thanksgiving

On a day that many people spend prepping for their big meal for Thanksgiving Day, volunteers from Huron's churches and several people from the surrounding community are taking the time to help those who might not otherwise be able to enjoy turkey and the fixings.  Volunteers from Christ's Community Meal, a bi-monthly, free meal sponsored by Huron's churches, expect to feed about 130 people today.  The guests are treated to a full meal including turkey, mashed potatoes, salad, desserts, and more.  For those who are in need of a hot meal but cannot make it to the First Presbyterian Church where the meal is served,


a delivery service is available.  All in all, it takes about 40 volunteers to prepare the food, set the tables, serve the meal or deliver it, and clean up.  All of these volunteers are living by the mantra that it is better to give than receive.  Huron is a better place because of these people.  Thank you for your generosity!  Happy Thanksgiving.
