Urban Renewal Seeks Food Donations for Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon


Doctors Hospital Donates Thanksgiving Turkeys and Food Supplies for Urban
Renewal's Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon

Doctors Hospital recognizes the plea from charities during this tough
economic time and has stepped up to the table with food donations for the
Urban Renewal annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. The company said it hopes that
its contribution will encourage other local businesses and individuals to
also support the cause and local charities.  Thanksgiving Day is an old
tradition, but charities struggle to feed the needy. During the holiday
season, people tend to dig deeper into their pockets for spare change and
charity.  That's not the case with Urban Renewal.  At least not yet.  Urban
Renewal's Kolamae Pedican says the tough economy has many area families
depending on their  help over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  "We
are seeking food donations to help feed the needy during our annual
Thanksgiving Church Service and Luncheon for the entire community and
whomsoever need on Sunday November 21st, 2010 at 11.00 a.m at the Church of
God of Prophecy Shirley Street.  The Luncheon will be held in the yard, so
we can eat as a community.  Last year they fed over 300 persons and this
year we know the need will be greater.  We thank Doctors Hospital for their
generous donation as we want to ensure we have enough food for all, but we
are still in need of food donations to help feed the needy" says Pedican.
In weeks leading up to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday, charity
organizers say the need for donations is higher and the ability to donate is
lower this year .  To assist with the plight of the homeless, you can help
