The City Mission Hosts "The Great Thanksgiving Banquet"

Again this year, we are praising God and celebrating His bounty to us by hosting the Great Thanksgiving Banquet for those we serve. On Sunday November 19th, hundreds of our homeless guests, program residents, former residents and their families will come to the Mission for a grand turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

In addition, volunteers and staff members will combine forces to pack and distribute as many as 800 holiday food baskets for needy families who have been touched by the ministries of The City Mission. Each food basket will be packed lovingly with all the necessities to prepare a delicious turkey dinner for their family holiday gatherings. Those receiving baskets will also receive a special Gospel message of thankfulness and forgiveness as the baskets are distributed at The City Mission during Thanksgiving week.

We are joining forces with over 200 other Gospel missions across the USA in providing more than 200,000 meals to the homeless and poverty stricken this Thanksgiving season. Former Cleveland Indians pitcher Orel Hershiser is serving as this year's national chairman of The Great Thanksgiving Banquet.

Our Great Thanksgiving Banquet is made possible by the generous financial and volunteer support of people who are committed to the life-changing ministries of The City Mission. We are indeed thankful for the many faithful friends who help us to help those less fortunate this Thanksgiving and all year round.
