1,000 Thanksgiving Boxes to the Southwest Atlanta Community

The Cascade United Methodist Church (CUMC) congregation in conjunction with the renowned CUMC New Advent Choir will continue their tradition of bridging the gap for those who are less fortunate in the Southwest Atlanta community this Thanksgiving holiday season. The annual New Advent Choir Thanksgiving Basket Distribution Project will be held on Monday, November 24, 2014, 10:00 a.m. at Cascade United Methodist Church, 3144 Cascade Road, Atlanta. More than 1,000 individuals and families will receive all the fixings needed for Thanksgiving dinner and more than $200 worth of groceries that will last them the entire week.
The New Advent Choir will kick off the week of Thanksgiving in song with their annual concert on Sunday, November 23, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. The entire community is invited to fellowship. Then on Monday morning beginning at 4:00 a.m., volunteers will unload thousands of pounds of turkeys, hams, collard greens, sweet potatoes and other fixing in preparation for distribution.
This is our largest outreach project of the year, says Pastor Lawrence Young, Senior Pastor, Cascade United Methodist Church, “we are grateful for the New Advent Choir, under their direction and leadership, we are very active lights in the Southwest Atlanta community. It is evident in our numbers that the need for community engagement and involvement continues to grow, during this year’s event, we will serve 1,000 families. These numbers speak to the urgent need beyond the walls of the church.”
