Thanksgiving Turkey Outreach

Every month, Grace World, Nature Coast Outreach Center, and Compassion Food provide groceries, hot meals, clothing, a few basic necessities, and the Gospel message to households all across Hernando County. These are our neighbors, and for many of them, rising costs and unexpected setbacks have made it harder to keep food on the table.

From these opportunities to show our community who Jesus really is, we also hear incredible testimonies. A little over a year ago, a woman came in need of groceries. At that time, she was homeless and was working toward getting her GED. Along with food, we were able to get her a bike so she could get to and from school.

This week, she pulled up to Nature Coast in her own car. She has a job, a place to call home, and came back because she wanted to give back. That’s what a hand up can look like. And hers is one of the many stories that are coming out of this outreach.

On Saturday, November 21st, we have the opportunity to provide 600 families with a turkey and all the fixings for a full Thanksgiving dinner during the Turkey Giveaway Outreach. We believe this will not only be a blessing to these families, but also a chance to hear and share many more testimonies. 

There are several practical ways you can be the hands and feet of Jesus during this season and practice generosity with both your finances and your time. It will cost about $10,000 and take more than 100 volunteers to pack the groceries, hand them out, and welcome and minister to the families who come to our campus. Your generosity helps put a Thanksgiving dinner on a neighbor’s table.

Grace, let’s make an even bigger difference this Thanksgiving!

Blessings,
Pastor Daniel
