Thank you to everyone who helped make the Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve Banquets a wonderful success! The Mission hosted both banquets at the America Legion Hall in Merced and served over 500 people at each banquet. Many people received a meal, clothing, and at the Christmas Eve banquet, presents for their kids. We were also able to pray with people as they left. Our community came together to donate food, time, and funding to give HOPE this holiday season. The Mission would like to thank all who came to help serve, visit with people in need, and help set up and clean up. We would also like to thank the American Legion Hall for making their facility available for both banquets! Thank you for touching the lives of those in need in Merced County.
