In this season of thanksgiving and hope, pause to count your blessings and consider how to express your thanks to God. Choose to make a difference in someone's life with a gift, a donation, an act of kindness, a few hours of volunteering. . . 'tis the season of thanksgiving!

SHARE YOUR THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS!

Help Dallas Bethlehem Center Provide Thanksgiving Food Boxes

DBC is just 10 days away from their Thanksgiving Food Box distribution, but some important ingredients are still needed for the families in South Dallas.

They have plenty of green beans and corn, but need 100 more turkeys, some onions, and other items, too. Your monetary donations will help them get what is needed to fill the boxes at wholesale prices.

Sign-up to provide items or funds to buy food items.

Contact Annette to schedule a food/donation pickup or drop off.

Sign-up to volunteer for Thanksgiving events.

They simply cannot serve our neighbors without your support. Thank you!

WORLD THANK OFFERING

Each year, as the leaves fall and the weather turns cooler, we count our blessings and take the opportunity to share them with gifts to the World Thank Offering. Make your gift online or through your local treasurer.

We offer gratitude for God’s blessings in our own lives and work to improve the lives of women, children, and youth through United Women in Faith. We give because we are grateful for God’s blessings in our lives.
