The excitement was evident as I entered the lobby of Union Mission. Many volunteers had arrived early to help with the Annual Thanksgiving Community Meal. As I moved into the kitchen area volunteers were busy preparing plates to be taken to Becker Manor and UM Cook, Dee Sloop, was busy giving instruction to portion sizes of each plate. Melissa Moseley was busy orienting our new volunteers who had arrived from Littleton, Nashville, Dunn and towns located in the Roanoke Valley. From my perspective the whole event moved along like a finely tuned machine as we fellowshipped together with friends and family. I loved seeing families sit down together to eat and just enjoy being at Union Mission. When all was complete Union Mission set a new record of serving 1,110 people. This is our 60th year as an organization and it was a wonderful site to see so many come together to thank God for His blessings. Thanks to all who sacrificed to volunteer. This event would not have been possible without our wonderful volunteers.
