Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
New York City’s Bowery Mission spent their 135th straight Thanksgiving providing thousands of meals to the homeless of the city.
“More than 600 volunteers will prepare these meals and serve guests in the mission’s century-old chapel, with music and festive decorations for the holiday,” James Winans, chief development officer at the Bowery Mission, told The Christian Post.
The mission serves meals in two hour shifts throughout the day. The meals are traditional Thanksgiving meals with turkey, potatoes, stuffing, green beans, gravy and all the fixings.
“Pie for dessert,” Winans added with a smile.
Winans said that mission doesn’t bother with seeking someone’s “eligibility for services” or other qualifying standards for government shelters.
“We simply seek to meet their specific need, no questions asked,” he said.
The Bowery Mission was founded in 1879 and has given out almost 400,000 meals to the homeless this year.
