On Thursday, Nov. 24, Thanksgiving Day, we will be preparing and delivering hot meals to homebound senior citizens, coordinating this program from our home.

We are in need of donations of desserts, individual non-carbonated beverages, mini loaves of bread or dinner rolls, turkeys or cash in order to complete the meals. These items can be dropped off at our home at 35 Maxwell Road in Garden City. Please call us as soon as possible to coordinate a convenient drop-off time.

All deliveries will begin at noon on Thanksgiving Day. Each delivery is accompanied by a visit, if so welcomed by the recipient. Please call us if you are able to help with the delivery of meals.

This project has become a special part of our family tradition for the past 10 years, and we invite you to make it part of yours as well. Your generous donations of food, money and time have made the deliveries a tremendous success each year. With your help, we can continue to bring a meal and a smile to those who are alone on the holiday.

Feel free to contact us at 746-8331 regarding any part of this program. Thank you for your continued support.

Melinda and John Alford
