We believe that there is nothing healthier for the soul than the expression of gratitude.
As we approached the Thanksgiving season this year, we wanted to do something special for those who find themselves experiencing food and housing shortages. We also wanted to give our community the opportunity to express gratitude for all the amazing blessings that the Lord has placed in our lives. That’s how the idea for ThanksLIVING Family Fund-Raiser was born. We can show our gratitude by raising funds and giving food donations to help families in crisis. It’s a WIN-WIN!

We are also extremely excited that our sponsors have donated some exciting prizes for our raffle. Please sign up below to participate, even if you are not able to attend our event this Saturday. After expenses are covered, all proceeds will be forwarded to the JCOC and all the wonderful things that they do for the needy in our community. Our goal is $1,500. Could you help by purchasing some raffle entries?
Welcome Baskets

JCOC does an incredible job of finding homes for families in crisis. The best way we can help is to put together welcome home baskets for new tenants as they are getting back on their feet. Here is a list of items that go into a typical basket:
Dinnerware, 4-pc. place setting
Kitchen Utensils, 4-pc. place setting
Pots & Pans, small set
Can Opener

Air Fresheners
We have volunteers that stand ready to assemble these baskets for JCOC’s needy families. We only need partners like you to make these Welcome Home Baskets a reality. Please join us by clicking one of the buttons below to help us assemble five new baskets before Thanksgiving!
