On Wednesday November 22, 2006, the day before
Thanksgiving, members of the “knights of Columbus” (Mar Toma
Council), at St. Peter’s Chaldean Catholic Cathedral in El
Cajon, CA, organized a food distribution day to help families
in need. Nearly 300 turkeys were distributed to the
families who lined up to receive the donated items, also other
baking supplies such as cooking oil and rice were given.
The turkeys and other food supplies were
donated by the generous people of our Chaldean community. Many
families donated food, other donated money, and some donations
came from Chaldean businesses . Members of the “Ladies
of Hope” also had a fund raiser bake sale on Sunday
November19, 2006 to raise money towards buying food supplies
for the families in need for Thanksgiving.
May God bless all those who contributed with
their time, effort and money to help make this thanksgiving
day a sharing day.
