Dear Friends,

Two billion represents the number of people that will go hungry this year worldwide, and it is astounding.

We at 4-Hearts know that we cannot change the world, but with your help we can make an impact on our small piece of it.

You have been amazing in all our past endeavors and we are faithful that you will just as giving with the one we are planning now.

Picture for a second your holiday dinner.   Imagine the items you have on your table, with family & friends gathered around. You make a list, go to the store, buy what you need, and with a little effort in the kitchen produce a wonderful meal for your family to enjoy. You may get stressed because of lack of time, family, visitors, cleaning your house, or a "to-do list a mile long".  But having this meal is so easily taken for granted that you don't consider not having one. 

We are asking you to help families in our area experience the same holiday joy.  Our current event is to provide a complete holiday meal to families in need. We have contacted several organizations and places of worship to get a list of families that without outside assistance, will not have a meal to put on their table this holiday season.  We will be putting together both Christmas and Hanukkah dinners.  With your help we are going to be delivering a holiday dinner with all the trimmings and the pan to roast it in to these families in need.          

This is going be a little different from food drives we have had in the past as we are requesting "specific items".  We are going to try to keep this as simple as possible.  Below is a list of items needed. The list will be on our web site as well, and we would ask you to check the website www.4-Hearts.org  prior to your contribution to see that the item is still needed.  If we receive a lot of cranberries for example, we will take it off the list and leave on the items still in need. We are also for the first time asking for cash to buy the main dish.  The reason for this is we have no way to store donated turkeys, and will be purchasing them the day before delivery.

	Boxed Stove Top Stuffing	Boxed Instant potatoes
	Turkey gravy	Canned cranberries
	Canned vegetables (green beans, corn or peas)	Non perishable pie crust
	Pumpkin pie filling	Aluminum pans for roasting
	Boxed latke mix	Apple sauce
	Cash - to purchase turkey & brisket

We are sending this notice out a little early so that you can take advantage of not only the sales, but we are hoping that you will take it upon yourselves to forward this email on to your friends and neighbors so they can assist us in this project.  

Our drop of boxes will be out starting the 30^th of November, and will be there until our delivery dates.

Should you know of a family in need, please contact us so that we can do what we can to help.

As usual, the drop off locations will be our addresses, but feel free to contact any of us should you need someone to pick up your contribution.

Thank you in advance for the family's lives you will be affecting and thank you for helping us to accomplish our goals.

The 4-Hearts
