Feed 10,000: One Community, One Thanksgiving

Three years ago, I lost my mama in March. When Thanksgiving came, I didn't have it in my heart to sit at a traditional table. So I did the only thing that felt right: I raised money to help buy meals, volunteered all week, and served Thanksgiving morning with One Blood Movement of Unity. I walked away that day knowing I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Every year since, I've watched this movement grow, from about 5,000 meals my first year to 7,500 last year. This year, we're on track to serve more than 10,000 neighbors across central North Carolina. Each meal costs just over $3. That means my $5,000 goal will put a hot Thanksgiving meal in front of more than 1,600 people. For someone homeless or someone in need, it is more than food. It is a reminder that they are seen and that they are not alone. Please help me reach my goal. Any amount you give, whether $3, $30, or $300, sets a place at the table for someone who needs it. With love and gratitude, Shannon
