Crossroad Mission’s last day of three days of Thanksgiving
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Thursday was the last day of the Crossroads Mission annual Three Days of Thanksgiving where over a thousand people were fed as there was all types of Thanksgiving meal sides like mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.
Volunteers did not just help serve the less fortunate but they also delivered meals to people that were not able to go to the Mission to get a warm Thanksgiving meal.
Valeria Rodriguez was also able to talk to some volunteers and some people that live at the mission.
"To have a roof over my head and I am thankful for everything that Crossroads Mission has helped me out with," said Laura Johnson, a Crossroads Mission resident.
"A lot of people not fortunate enough to even get a meal that day so it gives us pride to be able to offering them, our community food," said Pam Rainey, Kitchen Coordinator for Crossroads Mission.
Vici Moreno and Peg Goolespy have volunteered to deliver meals to their neighbors this year, and they say they love to help in any way they can.
"But you know we enjoy, it gives us a chance to check on them and make sure that they're okay…We just naturally do it," Goolespy shared.
"Somebody needs help…like how I said, we just like...when she asked me, but they told me we had to pick them up, I said 'Don't worry about it. I have a truck," Moreno added.
Crossroads Mission is now preparing for their Three Days of Christmas and are asking for all types of donations.
