Thank you all for making the dinner a success!


Great time, great food.

Thanks to all who volunteered their time and their resources to make this a success. We served two meals to accommodate the larger crowd this year. We served 160 meals total (including volunteers). Pastor Thom shared a message of God's love and hope for each one of us. There was a raffle and Hannaford gift cards were given out. Each person was greeted and welcomed with a smile. Gift bags were given out to everyone as they left. It was great to see so many smiling faces.

Sonlight Fellowship wanted to mention a special thanks to:
  • Reach4Hope - For the crew of volunteers.
  • Rise Again Outreach - It was great to have the bus on site. Many left with clothes from the bus that they were blessed to have.
  • Lakes Region Charter and Shuttle Service - They supplied two vans and two drivers for the afternoon who were VERY accommodating!
  • Friends of Forgotten Children - For the boxes and boxes of clothing of all types and sizes - what a blessing!
  • West Congregational Church - It was a joy to witness their enthusiasm in helping out by providing the goody bags.
  • American Legion - For the $50 toward the purchase of turkeys - not to mention allowing us free use of the hall the night before so we could do a great deal of the prep work ahead of time.
  • Starbucks Coffee - For supplying all of the coffee. There were folks in attendance who had never been able to afford a Starbucks coffee, and here they were able to enjoy one for free.
  • Aspen Family Dentistry For donating a whole case of tooth brushes.
  • Hannaford Supermarket - for providing a $15 gift card as well as cups and napkins for the event.

God bless you all!
