That faint "gobble, gobble" you're hearing in the distance can only mean one thing:  Thanksgiving is near!  Both ACTSand SERVE are gearing up for their holiday programs, and your help is needed!
ACTS has already started "Share the Bounty" (formerly Operation Give Thanks/Operation Turkey) to make a holiday meal possible for their clients.  The program runs through November 11, and food donations are urgently needed.  Please visit
