We had a very successful 2009 Thanksgiving distribution; at every Immanuel food bank clients choose the food they take home, for Thanksgiving clients also received a basket (reusable shopping bag) containing items we usually do not have at distribution. Nearly 200 baskets filled with traditional Thanksgiving items (broth, stuffing and cranberry sauce) and 'hard to get items' (sugar, cooking oil and bandaids) went to those with need. Multiple food drives occurred in order to have enough food for this special purpose; thank you to Whole Foods, Antioch University Admissions, Immanuel Lutheran and ICS board member Katie Coleman for hosting food drives! Of course thank you to the volunteers pictured above (including our neighbors at Outrider Ad Agency) who assembled the baskets.
