Join A Day of Hope — Provide Thanksgiving Meals to Needy Families
A Day of Hope is a volunteer based not-for-profit organization that delivers baskets of food and turkeys to needy and hungry families for Thanksgiving in Northern California. It was started by Christopher Scott after reading a book called Notes from a Friend.
In the book there is a story of how Anthony Robbins received a Thanksgiving basket as a young boy when his family had no food to eat. This inspired Scott to try and make a difference in the lives of needy people during Thanksgiving. So he began A Day of Hope in 2005.
On their first Thanksgiving A Day of Hope fundraised about $700 and delivered 48 Thanksgiving baskets to 48 families.
On their second Thanksgiving in 2006 they fundraised $5,800 and delivered 211 Thanksgiving baskets to 211 familes.
Their goal for Thanksgiving 2007 is to deliver 750 baskets of food and turkeys to 750 families.
You can help out this year by donating food, time, or money. Read more about this at Scott’s Squidoo lens and websites.
