Thank you Kenton Neighborhood Association for helping to make this year’s Kenton Thanksgiving Feast a reality!

Hands On Portland, Wells Fargo and Albina Community Bank, we thank you for your commitment to community that extends to serving!  Because of you, we are now full to capacity on volunteers.  We couldn’t do this without you.  And you guys rock!!

Proper just received a generous $2,000 donation from an anonymous source! Thank you, you know who you are.

Here’s a clip taken from Pastor Elbert Mondaine’s cell phone of a KOIN6 news broadcast from last year on the Thanksgiving Feast.  It will give you even more of a feel for this awesome event.

Big thank you to Linda of FINO – Bistro Bar Pizzeria, Foster Farms, Ken from Shamrock, United Salad Co. and Green Zebra Grocery for helping handle several items off of our Thanksgiving needs list! You guys know you rock! We couldn’t do this without you

Hey Friends, we’re making progress in handling the items on the needs list for this awesome event.  Thanks to Green Zebra Grocery, Fred Meyers, and other partners, we are on our way to providing everything we need.  However, there’s still gaps of course.

We’d love your help!  Email me at [email protected] or call me at 503-890-5393 to let me know what items you’d like to take care of.  Turkey and other meats are the biggest priority, but there are many other items you can knock off.  Don’t be afraid to contact me even if the only thing you can provide is a few rolls of toilet paper!

Here’s the needs list Link proper-thanksgiving-2016-needs.
