Giving Back – Community Thanksgiving Dinner

Volunteers serve Thanksgiving dinner to community visitors
and package "to go" plates to be delivered to shut-ins.

On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day, FSI’s Business Development Manager, Linda Williamson, led a team of volunteers on to serve Thanksgiving meals to over 1,000 members of the community. For the ninth year, Dallas First United Methodist Church has hosted this community event offering free meals to anyone in need. Many visitors come and eat at the facility while other meals are packed and delivered to shut-ins at their homes. It takes many volunteers coming together to purchase, prepare, serve and deliver the food to make this annual event a success.

This year, the Community Thanksgiving Dinner volunteers also prepared 10,000 meal packets for the Stop Hunger Now organization. The meal packets will be delivered to several overseas destinations including an orphanage located in the slum area of Kibera, Kenya.

FSI encourages our associates to give back in ways that are meaningful to them and important to their communities. At this special time of year, our wish is that all our associates, clients and partners will experience the gift of giving!



Additional volunteers prepare 10,000 food packets to be
distributed to areas in Kenya and other destinations.
