SUMMARY:2026 Faith for Food Thanksgiving Pack-A-Thon
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to once again join with our community faith partne
 rs\, The Jewish Center\, West End Church\, and the Church of Jesus Chri
 st of Latter-day Saints\, to celebrate Thanksgiving in the true spirit of 
 the day - by giving to others.\nRegister &amp\; Donate here &gt\;&gt\;\nWe
  will be holding this year’s Pack-A-Thon in our tented outdoor pavilion\
 , Paved Paradise. With the help of Masbia\, we will pack over a thousand 
 nutritious food packages for those in need\, and Masbia will distribute th
 em\, free of charge\, right to those who need them.\nNEW THIS YEAR: At las
 t year's Pack-a-thon\, we announced Faith for Food\, Masbia's UWS Food Ann
 ex at Shearith Israel. It's been going strong feeding about 300 people eve
 ry week. Starting this year\, we're calling the event the "Faith for Food 
 Thanksgiving Pack-A-Thon" and will have two special enhancements in additi
 on to the regular Pack-A-Thon:\n\n\n 	Pack-A-Thon Volunteers will also pre
 pare packages for Faith for Food that will be stored in the Masbia Relief 
 Annex and used by clients for future pickups.\n\n\n 	After the Pack-A-Thon
  ends\, Faith for Food Food Annex clients will be invited to come to Shear
 ith Israel to be served a special Thanksgiving Day meal-to-go.\n\nHelp us 
 feed thousands of struggling families!\nAgain this year\, all contribution
 s (up to $10\,000) will be matched. \nEven very young children can suppor
 t this project. At our supervised craft table\, kids will create cards tha
 t will be included in the the packages\, to add a colorful and personal to
 uch.\n\nWe always need lots of volunteers to help run the Pack-A-Thon and 
 to oversee the youth craft activity! Consider a volunteer role when you si
 gn up.\n\nPlease register here and give as generously as your circumstan
 ces permit.\n\n__________\n\nSCHEDULE OF THE DAY:\n\n7:30 am-8:15 am\nMorn
