Thanksgiving is a time of gathering, reflection, and appreciation. This Thanksgiving, we asked the clients at our  HBCAC Men's Emergency Shelter:  What are you thankful for?

Watch the video above to hear from six MCCH clients who celebrated Thanksgiving at our emergency shelter.

It's officially the holiday season and we need your help to provide gifts for the 1,600 men, women, and children we serve!

You can help spread holiday cheer by donating gifts OR by joining our wrapping team! However you choose to help, know that you're making a difference in the lives of our clients during this special time of year.

Thanks to our generous community, MCCH clients received an abundance of food donations to help them celebrate Thanksgiving! Mercy Seat Chapel donated 50 turkeys and a group of families from Bannockburn Elementary School donated 50 pies to our clients.

Thanksgiving was an exciting day for our HBCAC Men's Emergency Shelter clients! To start the day, a hearty brunch was provided by longtime donors Jim and Barbara Rogers and their family. In the evening, our clients enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner, complete with all the trimmings, thanks to The Dick and Jody Vilardo Foundation who funded catering by Geppetto Catering.

Thanks to everyone who made Thanksgiving a special holiday for our clients!

Regardless of which winter holiday you celebrate, December is the busiest time of the year.

Here are 5 ways you can give back as a family this holiday season!
