Community involvement

For the past couple of years, St. Thomas More Catholic Church has provided a meal once a month for the regular Thrive! Tuesday gathering. One of our recent volunteer crews is pictured on the left. They look like they are having a good time, don't they?!

​Instead of one group in the church providing the meal each month, the leadership at the church elected to spread the commitment to several groups in the parish. We build an annual schedule, and groups are asked to bring food in the month assigned to them. With several groups participating in the program, it not only enhances the visibility of Thrive!, but also gets more people involved in giving back to the community. 

Thrive! welcomes help from churches, groups, or other individuals who would like to donate meals on Tuesday nights. We usually feed around 60 people. Homemade food is always appreciated, but donating funds toward catered meals is also welcome. For more information, contact Susan Wendland at [email protected].
