By Amy Sowder. ‘Tis the season for giving, and possibly nobody knows this better than the Feeding the 5000: Thanksgiving Mission led by the Lamb of God Church in south Fort Myers.
Last year, over 400 volunteers came together to cook, package, and deliver Thanksgiving dinner to more than 9,600 families across five counties. Each meal includes turkey, dressing, potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, rolls and dessert.
The mission will need volunteers beginning Sunday, Nov. 18, through Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 22.
Volunteers can help cook and pull turkeys, package meals, prepare the fixings, and deliver meals to the families. It takes a team to ensure that each family in need is served a hot meal this holiday season.
The church is at 19691 Cypress View Drive, Fort Myers. To learn more or register to volunteer, click here.
