Thanksgiving is a special holiday that is traditionally centered around spending time with family. For many of the youth in our community though holidays like Thanksgiving are just another reminder that they do not have the positive support of a family that so many take for granted.
Which is why, with the spirit of gratitude in the air, we were so happy to host our 5th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for our youth, their families, our volunteers and staff.
Once again we filled the house with laughter as we enjoyed the company of over 60 people, had great conversations, and played countless rounds of Apples to Apples!
A monumental Thank You goes out to Chris, Becky, and all the fabulous folks from Citipointe Church for roasting 4 turkeys and making all the traditional Thanksgiving sides so that our bellies were full!
We wouldn’t be able to have this sort of celebration without the support of the amazing community we are blessed to live in. For some of our youth this was the only Thanksgiving feast they will enjoy this year.
Happy Thanksgiving from Everyone at The Matthews House!
