EMERGENCY APPEAL FROM ONM FOR ADDITIONAL THANKSGIVING SPONSORS:  Due to the 200+ people who have signed up to be adopted, ONM is looking for additional sponsors for their Thanksgiving Food Basket Program.  You may sponsor a small family of 2-4 or a larger one of 5-10.  Once you are matched, you simply put together a food basket which includes the items used to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner (suggestions include a frozen turkey or canned ham, potatoes and gravy, canned vegetables and fruit, sweet potatoes, egg noodles, dressing, cranberry sauce, rolls and dessert).  You may either deliver the food basket directly to the family and experience their appreciation first hand, or take the food box to the Mission and we will contact the family to pick it up.  (If you deliver to the Mission, we need to have your food box by November 18th; if you deliver the food to the family, you will be given their address and contact phone number to schedule delivery directly with them.)  Olivet Mission is open Mon.-Fri., 8:30-11:30am, and Sat., 9-11:30am.  If you have any questions or to sponsor a family, please contact Jan Thomas, ONM Director, at 319-364-7946 (ext. 5) or email: onm.jan@gmail.com.  The deadline to adopt a family for Thanksgiving is November 9th by 11:30 AM.  Thank you for sharing with others in need as we celebrate Thanksgiving!!!
