Thanksgiving Baskets: Friday thru Sunday,November 18th thru November 20thA tradition beginning in 1994, the St. Ann’s Men Club has organized the distribution of Thanksgiving Baskets to those in need on theweekend before Thanksgiving Day.
Pre-Covid, 1,747baskets were distributed to families in Coppell, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Dallas, and other communities.We also provided 200 turkeys to a Soup Kitchen in Carrollton. Family names are obtained from school districts, Wellington, Family Gateway, and those provided to our parish office.We are estimating 1,400 baskets this year. Only through your donated treasures, time and talents is it possible to make this another very successful Thanksgiving Basket drive. It's wonderful, amazing and so spirituallyuplifting to witness the Love of Jesus in everyone's actions and eyes.Volunteers that have assisted, especially those that have distributed the baskets to the recipients, have departed the event with a sense of fulfillment, joyful smiles, uplifted spirits,and tears of satisfaction of making “a difference” in someone else’s life.
Each Thanksgiving basket will contain a disposable cookingpan, turkey, dressing mix, milk, bread, and an abundance of canned goods.Please consider a $40donation to sponsorone of these families.
