Remember Tucson’s Homeless on Thanksgiving

While it’s fun to write about food and think about what we’ll be eating on Thanksgiving, remember the homeless and people in need and in transition.

Here’s what Primavera Foundation needs:

They still need mashed potatoes for 25 people, two roasted turkeys (20 lbs each), gravy for 30 people, stuffing for 30 people, as well as drinks and desserts for 30 people. 

At the men’s shelter where 110 men will be served, they still need of drinks apple juice and coffee, as well as stuffing for 25 people, green salad for 30 people, a variety of salad dressings, and 4 gallons of gravy for the turkey/potatoes. 

They need several hot food drop offs at one of their transitional apartments on the day AFTER Thanksgiving at noon.

If you don’t feel like cooking, supermarket gift cards will be put to good use.

Please email Jenny Cowen ASAP and tell her what you can bring or pick up the phone.

    Thanks for posting that link to the Cross Street Story. If anyone finds themselves with a spare pie or green bean casserole or whatever, Cross Street will put it to good use. Just drop it off at Southside in the morning, any time after 8 a.m. The church is located at the corner of 23rd St. and 10th Ave.

    Az Illustrated had a good program tonight about the The Cross Street Ministry program at Southside Presbyterian Church which offers meals, showers, and clothing to the homeless each Monday and Friday morning:

    Thanks Karyn for reminding our readers that Thanksgiving is more than those expensive lunches/dinners at the resorts in town.
