Smithfield Rescue Mission
From now until November 20, the mission will be collecting frozen turkeys, and all the fixings for a Thanksgiving meal. We’ll distribute these to families in need, so they can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with their family, in their own home. We’ll also prepare a Thanksgiving meal at the mission, for our residents and people in the community.
You can also donate $25, and we’ll do the food shopping for you! To give online, visit smithfieldrescue.org/donate or mail your donation to PO Box 681, Smithfield, NC 27577.
You can drop off donations at our office until Wednesday, November 20, at 523 Glenn St., Smithfield.
