"Thanksgiving Feast For Seniors" 2020
Now Serving Grimes, Harris, and Madison Counties
It's that time of year again. This Thanksgiving Holiday, we will be providing Turkeys to Seniors in the community. Deliveries will be made on November 20 thru 22. Many area Seniors not only spend their holidays alone but often times at the end of the month, they have very little to eat. The value of our area seniors is endless.Consider the retired teacher that has contributed to society with his/her knowledge, or the retired veteran who fought for our country and came home without a leg or an arm. They have served us well. Let us stand together and show our appreciation this year. For more information on how you can help or if you know a senior in need. Please contact us at info@riseinfaith.org

The songstress posted a photo of herself on Instagram with a particularly poignant message. Just beneath the very serious look on her face, she's wearing a black t-shirt that spells out the word "love" using guns and other weapons. "It's time to turn all of that into this !!!! LOVE," she wrote in a subtle reference to the recent, controversial verdict in the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case. Of course, the Oscar winner also has a personal connection to the story – In October 2008, her mother, brother, and 7-year-old nephew were found shot to death in Chicago. Needless to say, Hudson and her shirt show that it's time to put an end to all the hate.
The new CDF report, The State of America's Children® 2011, is a national wake-up call to our political leaders and to everyone. Either we get our priorities straight and correct course today or we risk losing a more equitable and prosperous American future forever. |

Help Our Children
Week of ACTION
This week we will do something we have never done before—we will ask you to take action each day and to mobilize your networks to sound the alarm for our children. Everything is coming to a head this week in Washington as the president and Congress try to strike a deal to raise the debt ceiling to prevent a default for the first time in our history—and children’s health programs and education are at enormous risk of being gutted in the process. Together we can make a difference.
Today, we ask you to prepare by looking at The State of America’s Children 2011 report. Share it with your friends and family. Post it through your social networks. Forward this info to your network. We will need every caring adult to come together and to act up and speak out to keep America’s promise alive for our children.
With faith, hope, and determination,
- Children’s Defense Fund

Children of color, now 44 percent of America’s children, are at increased risk of being uninsured and in poor health and being killed by guns. A Cradle to Prison Pipeline haunts them from birth to adulthood.
This downward spiral for America’s children continues through all indicators, as the recession and slow recovery have taken the harshest toll on the most vulnerable.
