Join Us for the 22nd Annual S.F. Bay Area “Giving Thanks”!

Enjoy food, beverages & fellowship. Partners are welcome! Lunch is provided, but feel free to bring a dish to share!

Saturday, NOVEMBER 2nd 2024 from noon to 3:00pm

Creekside Community Church, 951 MacArthur Blvd. San Leandro

This event serves two purposes: first, to provide an afternoon of great fellowship where we can celebrate the gifts we receive from the program; and second, to raise much-needed funds for the international organization to carry the message to those who still suffer. Giving Thanks has been hugely successful both as an extraordinary event and as a great fundraiser.

As you know, the fellowship is self-supporting through our own contributions.  Participating in Giving Thanks is a major way for us to show our appreciation for one another, and to thank the people who support us and do service both here in the Bay Area and beyond. While it’s not necessary to donate in order to go to Giving Thanks, we hope that those of you who can give… will give what you can.
