The Thanksgiving Meals ministry serves the community by preparing and distributing individual meals and family meals to needy recipients.
The ministry began at Good Shepherd when parishioners volunteered to provide meals for the Elder Care Services / Meals on Wheels program for Thanksgiving Day.
The MOGS assumed oversight of the program in the year 2000 and has increased the number of recipient agencies to where Good Shepherd will preapre and distribute approximately 900-1000 individual meals and 150 family meals to needy recipients.
A parish-wide effort is required, with over 400 volunteers agreeing to provide perishable and non-perishable foodstuffs, assembling meals and meal delivery.
