Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️
All nutritious Healing Meals — meals, soups and cookies — were gifted & delivered within 24 hours to St. Joe’s, Tomorrow’s Children’s Fund, BVMI, Ridgecrest, Ridgewood Social Services, and the Franciscan Community Development Center.

Huge thanks to our incredible volunteers, the Kapur Family, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Food Drive for the ingredients, and Charlie Rann for making all the deliveries!

The most satisfying part of all this effort? Seeing the empty freezers at No Fuss Lunch — every meal made with love, delivered with care - that’s what community is all about 👍.

Thanksgiving reminds us of what truly matters — family, food, and gratitude. 🧡It’s a season to gather, savor favorite recipes, and give thanks for health, happiness, and the people we love.

It’s also a time for generosity — when kindness overflows from our hearts (and our kitchens!). And, speaking of kitchens… one of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers! With a little creativity, you can turn them into thoughtful gifts for neighbors, friends, or anyone who could use a little extra love this season. Read the full article with link in story!
