LINING UP — Approximately 1,000 families received a Thanksgiving food bag from Urban Mission Ministries Wednesday and Thursday. The Rev. Bruce Hitchcock said it was the most recipients he has ever witnessed at the facility.
STEUBENVILLE — The Rev. Bruce Hitchcock was walking through the Urban Mission warehouse Tuesday as some 60 volunteers were packing Thanksgiving food bags.
“I saw several people busy packing bags who I hadn’t seen before. So I stopped and asked about 25 people why they came to work, and 23 of them said they came to help their neighbors, to give back to the community or because of their faith in Christ. That is what Thanksgiving is all about,” said Hitchcock.
“The packing was finished in about an hour and a half, and we were ready for the people on Wednesday and Thursday.
