We provide Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless population and those in need at our Portsmouth office location. This initiative is needed more than ever as there are many people in our region who go without food daily. The holidays prove to be a stressful time for many and our hope is to alleviate one portion of this stress. The holidays often serve as a reminder of what may not exist for some—a home in which to celebrate, cook, decorate, and rejoice. Loss, loneliness, and shame are powerful triggers during this time and we want to help minimize those thoughts, even if just for a day. We hope to provide the opportunity to focus on what does exist, a hot meal shared among a community built upon genuine care and concern for one another.
