Sponsoring a family. Homeward Bound helps women who have found themselves in a cycle of domestic abuse or drug dependency break away from their current situations and move themselves and their families into a new positive direction.

This week I volunteered with several of my girlfriends to help organize donations for Thanksgiving. Here’s how it works. You (a group, church, organization) sign up to sponsor a family. And by sponsoring, it means that you for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Whatever commit to helping this family have a holiday celebration they might not have been able to afford or offer their family this year.

Sponsors got a shopping list; It included a turkey, roasting pan, veggies, dessert, napkins and side dishes. You put it together in a box and the receiving family has Thanksgiving in a Box. It’s all ready to go with a recipe book.

I can’t tell you enough about this organization and all the services they provide to the families who are still living on campus or who have been able to successfully leave the program.

I hope that you and the amazing families I had an opportunity to meet this week have a very safe and very happy Thanksgiving.
