🧡✨ It’s That Time Again — Chance Thanksgiving Outreach ✨🧡

Family and friends, we are gearing up for our 5th Annual Chance Thanksgiving Outreach in memory of our little brother whom we loved so dearly. Every year we honor his life by doing what he did best — loving people with a pure heart.

This Thanksgiving, we will be going out once again to serve full Thanksgiving meals to our unsheltered friends, and we need your hands and your feet to make it happen!

We feed over 200 people, and there are many ways you can be part of this mission:

✅ Join us in person as we go out and serve
✅ Sign up to make a dish or two
✅ Help with meal prep in volunteers’ homes
✅ If you want to cook but need the ingredients provided, please reach out — we will supply what you need

If you feel led to serve, cook, or contribute in any way, please sign up using the link below.
Your “yes” helps us impact lives, honor Chance, and love our community well.

✨ Thank you in advance for every helping hand and every act of love poured out.
🧡 Let’s make this year unforgettable.

🌻 A BIG Thank You! 🙏

A heartfelt thank you to Trader Joe’s Scottsdale and Iglesias en la Calle — because of your generosity, we were able to bless families in our community with food this week! 🍎🥖💛

It’s been confirmed that Arizona will be affected by the delay of SNAP food benefits for November, and many families are feeling the impact.

At 3rd St Community Outreach, we will be doing even more to help families in need throughout the month of November — sharing resources, providing food, and making sure families have what they need, including Thanksgiving meals 🦃🍂

If you’d like to partner with us to help provide for families in need this season, please reach out. Together, we can make a difference! 💪❤️

God bless you all!
