In one week the Good News Rescue Mission will be handing out complete Thanksgiving Dinners to around 400 families to take home with them. That means 400 frozen turkeys but, unfortunately, last week’s “Stuff the Truck” Food Drive only brought in around 100 turkeys. There’s another opportunity for generosity Friday at the 14th annual “Give Redding Holiday Drive” at O-2 Employment on Churn Creek Road near Mistletoe. From 7AM to 11AM they’ll be collecting food and toys for the Rescue Mission, as well as One Safe Place and Raising Shasta. Turkeys and other donations can be dropped off anytime at the Mission on South Market Street.
