On Tuesday we gave out around 150 Thanksgiving baskets to clients in need. Baskets were supplied by the Basket Brigade of Delaware, a volunteer organization that delivers food to families most in need, in time for Thanksgiving. The baskets contain turkey and other holiday staples such as stuffing, green beans, and cranberry sauce.
Today was the Lancaster Center’s annual Thanksgiving meal for our clients. James Harrison has said to me for years that if the weather would cooperate, he wanted to have an outdoor café. Well, we finally got our wish! It was sunny and 60o so picnic tables were set up outside the Outreach Center as well as inside.
BCI staff prepared and served dishes including turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls, greens, ham, potatoes, macaroni and cheese, yams, corn, pies, and cakes. An estimated 60 clients enjoyed the feast.
Finally, BCI will be closed this Friday as we staff enjoy a vacation day we earned for over 90% participation in our United Way campaign. 130 of us contributed a total of $9,708 this year – great job as always.
Everyone have a safe and happy holiday!
