Just days leading up to Thanksgiving, River of Life provided hope to Omaha families facing food insecurity. On Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. the church hosted Feed the Need Thanksgiving Box Dinner Giveaway. Two hundred households received a turkey that can feed at least a family of four along with all the fixings. Families had to register in advance in order to participate in the inaugural event. On Saturday, the registrant simply drove up to the church parking lot and showed identification to receive the box of food that included:
- Uncooked turkey (13 lbs or larger)
- Box of potatoes
- Box of stuffing
- Canned vegetables
- Cranberry sauce
- Gravy (can or dry mi)
- Dinner rolls (already baked)
- Boxed brownie mix
River of Life church members followed directed health measures which included wearing face masks, social distancing and proper hand hygiene.
