This is an amazing one-day event that brings the community together for a common cause: to help the less fortunate in Abilene, with contributions going to Loving Care Ministries. Several items, including clothes, food, sleeping bags and blankets, personal hygiene items and winter accessories, or cash donations will be accepted.

Mission Thanksgiving Is a Huge Success

The 2011 Mission Thanksgiving food drive proved to be an enormous success, even in strained economic times. The donors started to roll through the line, long before the Mission Thanksgiving lines were to open at 7AM. The first few cars brought gently worn clothing and cash, this was to be a leading indicator of what was to come the rest of the day. I saw more furniture items like lamps and reading tables and small appliances like a toasters being donated this year. The big surprise was the cash donations. More people gave more smaller amounts than ever before.
