HAPPENING NOW: Turkeys, groceries, no line @ Eastridge giveaway

No proof of need is required at the Eastridge event, which is happening this morning only, while supplies last.

I found myself in need of food again during the recession; but stopped going to this event when news media started publishing photos of people waiting in line; I’d rather go hungry than have my photo displayed as a “poor person”

thanks again to the wonderful generosity of Eastridge Church
