The Gift of Food at Thanksgiving

Posted October 31, 2012

Draft FCB volunteers serving Gatewood residents a special meal.

Thanksgiving is a special day at Plymouth, a time for our residents to enjoy a home-cooked meal with the good company of their Plymouth community. Thanksgiving at Plymouth brings connection and comfort for formerly homeless individuals who may no longer be in contact with family and friends.

Plymouth relies on individuals, families and organization to help us provide Thanksgiving dinner by donating ‘ready-to-eat’ traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Please consider joining this effort and contributing a food item.

We are in need of donations of cooked turkeys and hams, casseroles, stuffing, dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pies for over 600 Plymouth residents expected to join us that day.

As you shop for your own dinner, we hope you will add an extra turkey to your order or another pie to your baking list. These and side dishes would be valuable donations to our residents.

Food can be delivered on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 22 at one of our buildings. For more information on how you can help, please call Elisabeth Vasquez Hein at 206-374-9409, ext. 135 or email evasquezhein@plymouthhousing.org.
