After 40 years of God’s faithful provision for the Thanksgiving Outreach at Horizon, this year God has led us to something different. Over the past several years, we have seen an increasing number of organizations step up to provide for individuals and families in need during Thanksgiving.
This year we will be encouraging the church to get out in the community and serve alongside others! Below is are a few suggestions of places where Thanksgiving meals are being served to those in need, and also places to volunteer around San Diego. We look forward to serving those in the city of San Diego with you this season!
