PROJECT BACKYARD THANKSGIVING
“FREE COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING DAY MEAL”
Over the last 18 years, Community Transformation, Inc. (CTI) & Word Doers Ministries have been able to serve over 18,000 meals to those in need in Thomasville and Thomas County on Thanksgiving. For the last nine years, Project Backyard has partnered with CTI & Word Doers to serve and distribute more than 15,000 of those meals.
This year, we will be delivering meals across the community, hosting a winter clothes closet and giving away over 350 boxes of food. We are expecting to deliver and serve over 1600 meals, but we can't do it without your help! There are a number of ways that you can serve, including the kitchen team, food plater team, delivery prep team, delivery driver team, desert team, prayer/evangelism team, and more.
We invite you to join us in serving those in need on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 28, 2024) at the Thomasville High School Cafeteria. To sign up to serve with us, click the link below:
