Second annual Thanksgiving meal served at Erie City Mission

On November 19, more than 50 staff, residents, volunteers and board members participated in the Mercy Center's second annual Thanksgiving luncheon at the Erie City Mission. In addition to a warm meal, more than 150 guests were given blessing bags filled with personal care items, socks, hats, blankets and a gift card. While the event helps others in need, it also reminds Mercy Center residents of everyone's responsibility to show gratitude and kindness regardless of one's own circumstance.
