Cascade UMC choir trying to feed 500 families for Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving season begins with an annual concert by the 100 member choir at 6 p.m. Nov. 20.

Choir members will return to the church at 6 a.m. Monday to sort groceries and deliver them to waiting recipients from community organizations, area schools within the Cascade corridor and others who have expressed a need.
