Thanksgiving is a little over one week away! Can you help us meet our goal? ICYMI, Thanksgiving at Christ House looks.... a bit different this year due to our ongoing kitchen renovation. Instead of preparing an in-house community feast, we will be catering dinner for patients and Kairos Members to celebrate the joy of the season together. Can you lend a hand in ensuring we have a plate for each person at our table this Thanksgiving? You can make a donation here: https://ow.ly/VraS50UbpGr Thank you for your support!
