Come on in where the table is spread, and the Feast of the LORD is going on!

Our 4th Annual GIVING THANKS on Thanksgiving outreach to the homeless will be held on Thanksgiving Day, November 26.

This is a very special day for me, not only because it is Thanksgiving, but also because it was my mother's birthday.

This is an outreach to the homeless, and needy, and poor - our brothers and sisters throughout this City who have nothing and no one.

This is a family-friendly outreach. I absolutely encourage you to join us, and if you know young people, bring them as well! The minimum age to help is 14 years old.

THE BOWERY MISSION
Thanksgiving Day 2009
Thursday, November 26
1:00-3:00pm

Let us truly give thanks this Thanksgiving, by looking outside of ourselves and our own provision, and showing God's love, being an extension of HIS provision, and being a blessing to others who are in need.

(If you are not in the Tri-State metro area, we would appreciate if you could please keep this outreach in your prayers. Thank you!)

We will be collecting Blessing Bags for this outreach, to be distributed to the men and women who will be served on Thanksgiving Day.

"Blessing Bags" contain personal hygiene items and other necessities. If you are scheduled to volunteer, please bring all donations with you to The Bowery Mission. If you are not volunteering, but still would like to donate, we are in need of the following items:

Toothpaste
Shampoo
Razors
Socks (white and black)
Hats
Toothbrush
Deodorant
Shaving cream
Underwear (all sizes)
Gloves

Thank you for your kind and generous heart for homeless and hurting people in NYC! Your help serving meals this Thanksgiving can be the first step in a changed life.
