We all know that November is significant for holidays like Thanksgiving and Veteran’s Day. But it is also an important month for Fred Jordan Missions because it marks the start of our “Season of Caring.”

This Thanksgiving Season, we will serve an incredible Thanksgiving Dinner to our friends on the streets who are alone or have nothing to eat. This includes men and women who live in tents or cardboard boxes. They are all welcome to “come just as they are” and are encouraged to sit down, eat, fellowship, laugh, and hear a message about Jesus, who loves them unconditionally. We will also provide needy families living in impoverished neighborhoods near the Mission with a Thanksgiving Dinner to take home.

This celebration has been our tradition during November for as long as I can remember—loving, serving, caring, and sharing the message of Jesus—and 2023 is no different.

Over the last 80 years, Fred Jordan Missions has served tens of millions of meals, and we’re just getting started. With Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, the turkeys have been ordered, and the official menu includes cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a sweet dessert. It will be a delicious feast to remember!

Today, I humbly ask for your help in making the most generous gift you’ve ever given. If you haven’t yet joined in this community of sharing and giving, I challenge you to change your life by doing so.

Giving changes lives. Seeing others benefit from your generosity is incredibly rewarding. It shifts your perspective and gives new meaning to the blessings in your own life. The Bible says, “It is more blessed to give than receive” (Acts 20:35).

God bless you, and may you have a blessed November.
