Helping with SERVE's Operation Turkey
On Saturday November 21st, the Home Life Committee volunteered at SERVE's annual Fall food drive called "Operation Turkey." We were rockin' and rollin' along... sorting, bagging, tying and tossing together OVER 600 bags of Thanksgiving food items--all in less than two hours! SERVE's vision: "No person in our community will have to be homeless; no child will have to go to bed hungry;and no family will lose their dignity or let their dreams die because of poverty." SERVE helped some 1400 people this year... We want to thank the husbands, sons, and friends of DWC who also volunteered. Your contribution was significant!
