Fred Jordan Mission will celebrate its 65th Thanksgiving Day on the streets of Skid Row. Thursday, November 26, from 10:00am - 2:00pm, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, dozens of celebrities including Demi Lovato from "Sonny with a Chance", Moises Arias from "Hannah Montana" and Keshia Knight Pulliam from "House of Payne" and "Madea Goes to Jail" and thousands of volunteers will serve a traditional Thanksgiving Turkey Banquet with all of the homemade trimmings to more than 2,500 impoverished children, women and men at the Fred Jordan Mission, located at 445 Towne Avenue, on the corner of 5th and Towne, Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles.
This annual dinner doesn't just draw homeless people. It also draws working families who can't afford to cook a Thanksgiving Day dinner of their own. The Mission is expecting a record number of people. Thanksgiving kicks off the Mission's 30 days of helping the poor come "home for the holidays" at the Fred Jordan Mission. This year once again the Mission will provide over 80,000 meals for the poor. With the downturn in the economy our food supplies are much lower than normal. If people want to help, please call 1 (800) 964-FOOD or go on-line to give at www.fjm.org.
The Fred Jordan Mission is delighted to announce its second annual "Boxes of Hope" campaign food drive to help provide Christmas Dinner food for impoverished families who are often forced to choose between paying rent and buying food for their children. Each tax-deductible donation of $25 will give a Christmas Food BOX OF HOPE directly to a needy family right here in our community. An additional $25 will provide new toys and warm sox for the children. Phone 1-800-964-FOOD and make the donation with a major credit card. Or go on-line to www.fjm.org to purchase a "Box of Hope" that will be given directly to a needy family.
