The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in collaboration with Reverend Eugene Rivers and Dr. Jacqueline Rivers - partnering with Fair Foods Inc. plans to deliver 2,000 Thanksgiving Day meals to our friends in the Boston communities. On Saturday, November 20, three 18-wheeler Deseret Transportation trucks filled with turkeys and other food to make Thanksgiving Day meals will be unloaded, organized into "donation ready" boxes, and delivered to recipients in the Boston communities. There are opportunities at two locations (Weston Chapel and Mt. Hope Roslindale Chapel) to assist in this great effort. See the sign-up for details about the specific service needed at each location. Volunteers are asked to sign up using the google sign-up link provided. All are welcome to help.

| Hundreds of people responded to this request to help. |

| Bev and I greeted volunteers directing them to park and check-in. We also directed drivers of vans and trucks coming from community pantries and food banks to collect the food. |

| Food was brought in early in the morning on three large semi's. I arranged to have one of the forklifts needed to offload the food. |
