It&#8217;s a mix of the familiar faces we see every day and those who return just for this special occasion. It&#8217;s heartening to be with our daily guests, for whom this day can be so difficult, but also to reconnect with former guests who come back, sharing about their newfound stability, like living in their own apartments for years. It&#8217;s a beautiful time filled with stories of redemption and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We think of what God calls us to do when inviting and serving others. Jesus had a knack for telling the Pharisees exactly what they needed to hear. As the religious leaders of their day, the Pharisees often came across as self-righteous and judgmental. But when Jesus dined at one of their homes, he talked about humility. Then he went on to gently chide them for their guest list, which mostly included people of prominence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus basically said, no, when you throw a dinner party, open your doors to neighbors in need. <em>That\u2019s<\/em> pleasing to the Lord. That\u2019s the righteous thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large is-style-plain has-normal-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cBut when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed.\u201d \u2014 Luke 14:13-14 NIV<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We do that every day here at The Bowery Mission, as struggling neighbors come to us looking for a meal, shelter, help and hope. And we\u2019re going to do it <em>a lot<\/em> in the coming weeks. Our team estimates we\u2019ll be serving nearly 60,000 meals this Thanksgiving season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, we\u2019re up to the challenge. But it\u2019s so much more than meals: Those sit-down dinners, served with love, can encourage a person down a path toward wholeness and healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m grateful so many of you are joining us on this journey. God bless you and your loved ones this Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With deep appreciation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bowery.org\/filer_public\/cb\/37\/cb37db78-8480-408e-b388-b01fc47969ab\/james_signature2.png\" alt=\"James\" style=\"width:154px;height:54px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>James Winans, CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hear from our guests what your compassionate support provides during Thanksgiving:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2410BEN_R-circle_200.png\" alt=\"Rich\" style=\"width:225px;height:224px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I came here for the food, to meet people, and have good conversations.
