Thanksgiving week was all about turkey at Neighborhood Alliance. Families at the

 Lorain Child Enrichment Center were provided with turkeys and the fixings thanks to a donation by 1-888OhioComp and the family of an 8-year-old girl who sold trinkets over the summer to raise money to purchase the food items. Several families shared their gratitude that turkey was going to be on their holiday tables thanks to this donation. "I was wondering how to explain to my children why we were eating hamburger helper for Thanksgiving instead of turkey, now I don't have to have that conversation", shared a thankful mom.

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving was not going to be a day for a hot home delivered meal to our nearly 400 senior due to cuts in this program's funding. However, thanks to the generosity of Pat and Alan Spitzer & Family, and the management staff and volunteers, meals were cooked and warm meals were delivered to 400 homebound seniors in Lorain County. Along with their Thanksgiving meal, the seniors also received homemade placemats crafted by students at St. Anthony's and our Child Enrichment Centers. We were blessed to have the opportunity to provide this special meal to our seniors.
