[quote=Anonymous]I am affiliated with a small charity. We get requests from local churches for lists of families to do Thanksgiving Dinner in a basket. It's progressively more difficult every year. We're thinking of eliminating the program. Our clients are living in small homes or shared apartments. They are unfamiliar with turkey or more likely avoid pork products due to religious reasons. They are simply not sitting around eating an idealized version of the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Most lack furniture, which we also provide. But, some churches insist that an oversized basket filled with a huge bag of croutons, canned green beans, instant mashed potatoes, canned ham, pie filling and a frozen turkey will be a blessing and can't understand why we struggle to identify even 6 families who might be able to use and mildly appreciate such a gift.
