Gobble Gobble Give

«We make a living by what we get.
We make a life by what we give.»
~ Winston Churchill ~
This was our second year serving at Gobble Gobble Give, an amazing national movement which brings «potluck» style home-​cooked donated food, clothing, and hygiene kits to our neighbors in need on Thanksgiving. It was great to see familiar faces from my Monday #servinghopeLV family both working behind and waiting in the lines; witnessing people of all ages taking time away from their festivities to lend their warm hearts and helping hands.
Like last year, Mom and I delivered to-​go meals at one of several pre-​designated locations after we dropped off our donations at the main staging area. She was thrilled to hear «hey, it’s the ‘Blanket Lady’ from G St» from a few of our regulars; and, we did bring along several of the blankets she crochets to distribute.
Some folks dropped off donations and left, others stay to serve and/​or clean up, some do it all. Super way to spend a few hours on a holiday which tends to involve excess; grounding to remember how much we do have, and our neighbors who struggle to make ends meet, to find their next meal, or even a place to live/​sleep day-​to-​day.
You can find more info on their website or FB pages; I love this group! We definitely have so much to give thanks for, and Gobble Gobble Give is an excellent reminder as the holiday season kicks off.
