As we all celebrate Thanksgiving, we can also help out those who are less fortunate by participating, either as a volunteer or a sponsor .
We made a goal to feed 300 families at Thanksgiving. There are so many people in need more than we realized just within our community.
Families with children, the homeless, and even senior citizens are struggling because they can't afford to eat every day.
We are planning on making "Feeding the 300" a yearly tradition.
The Annual "Giving Back To The Community "Thanksgiving Dinner" for needy and low-income Oakland residents and their families will be held at the Center of Hope Community Church - Dining Hall.
This event is staffed entirely by volunteers of the Motorcycle Community, Local Non Profit Organizations and Businesses.
This event features music, and a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings.
