Food Drive and Be One In a Million Hearts

Give the gift of food or toiletries

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink..."

- Matthew 25:35

All of us celebrated Thanksgiving Day with so much food around us, but there are many people who did not have any means nor can afford to cook even one decent Thanksgiving meal. I thought this is a good time to reflect what we can do for the others so that even after Thanksgiving Day, they can experience and feel what “Thanksgiving” really means.
