Much of this week has revolved around working with partners to help distribute countless turkeys and food bags. It is a joy to work with others to help make sure as many people as possible have a special meal on Thanksgiving!
At the same time, we remain excited with our planning to offer opportunities which will help allow people to achieve an even greater dream: to provide for their own food for Thanksgiving (and regularly!).
“I’m tired of asking for help,” one man recently shared. “I want to work and be in control of things myself.”
The truth is that God has given within each of us a desire to live productive and meaningful lives.
With our new building in Sandtown-Winchester, we will finally be able to open our social enterprise, Pennsylvania Avenue Chocolates, where young men can apply for a temporary jobs and receive workforce development training, in an environment filled with the love and grace of Christ, in preparation for attaining career-based employment at any of our numerous employer partners and thus help provide many young men the opportunity to reach toward their God-given goals and dreams.
As Giving Tuesday approaches, be on the lookout for an important campaign we will be starting which will invite you to be a part of this social enterprise start-up and the blessings it is meant to bring.
We are ever thankful for your support and pray that you have a happy and most blessed Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
