Giving Thanksgiving

The Mammas on a Mission may only meet officially once a month or so, but each week at our coffee/social we insert our influence. In co-ordination with the StoneRidge community we assembled 4 large baskets that included everything you could possibly need to put together a Thanksgiving dinner for a family of 6. A list was made of all of the dinner's ingredients and volunteers were assigned. Each item was multiplied by 4. Everyone wanted to help. I had people asking me if there was anything they could contribute. 


The Mammas set a date to get together at Susan's to assemble the baskets. Marci donated 4 baskets large enough to hold everything. Every possible item had been donated; trying to fit everything in was a challenge. But when everything was put together... Voila!.. Thanksgiving Dinner in a basket! 



The Mammas donated the cash to purchase the turkey's for each basket. All four were donated to the Blanchard food bank. You can be sure that the recipients of these baskets celebrated in style!
