2007 Thanksgiving Dinners
for Parker Task Force Clients
Watch This Space For 2008 Program Details
- To Be Announced
We have a goal for 2007 to again provide a Thanksgiving
dinner to each client family that wishes to receive one. This
year the Parker Task Force expects to provide Thanksgiving dinner to
200 families. In 2006, 160 families received Thanksgiving
dinners, up from 125 families in 2005. The Parker Task Force continues
to serve more families as our community grows.
We currently
assist over 400 client families in the Parker, Franktown and Elizabeth
areas.
We need your help to make our Thanksgiving
Dinner project a success and to meet our goal of providing a Thanksgiving
meal to all of our clients that request one.
To help us you can either donate a food
basket or money for prepared meals.
1.
Food Baskets
Compile complete Thanksgiving dinners that families can prepare
at home, packaged in baskets/tubs/boxes for a family of 4-6 people.
Deliver to the conference room in the Parker Task Force building
at 20118 E. Mainstreet between 10am & 2pm on Sunday, Nov. 18, 2007.
Clients will pick them up later that day.

Please put items needing refrigeration/freezing

2.
Monetary Donations
Monetary donations will be used to purchase prepared Thanksgiving
dinners from local grocery store deli departments for our client families
who can not cook their own meals. We will purchase the meals,
contact clients and arrange for them to pick them up. Each
meal for a family of 4-6 costs about $40.00. Checks may
be made payable to the Parker Task Force (memo: Thanksgiving dinners.) Monetary donations may be mailed to the Parker Task Force, Attn:
Diane Roth, at 20118 East Mainstreet, Unit D, Parker, CO 80138.
Any extra funds will go towards the Christmas Holiday Bonus for client
families.
Please contact
Diane Roth at (303) 840-0661 (home number) or
email at
dianer@parkertaskforce.org with any questions or to sponsor a family
or families for this project. She will be tracking the number
of baskets and prepared dinners being donated, along with the clients
who will be receiving them.
Thank you so much for bringing comfort
and cheer to families this Thanksgiving season.

Our 2006 Thanksgiving program was quite successful.
We we able to help close to 200 families to have a generous
holiday meal. PTF did this by providing either food baskets
containing all of the goodies to cook a complete holiday
meal, or for those families without the means to prepare
a meal, a prepared package from the local market delicatessens.
In addition, due to the incredible generosity of our community,
we were able to help four other food banks to assist their
families. |
