My family would like to help your family this year for Thanksgiving. We will provide all the fixings for you to cook Thanksgiving dinner for your family. We are asking that you be honest and tell us your story and why you are in need. We are looking for a family with children or a single mother or single father with children. We would like the family to be in our local area such as Lansdale, Towamencin, North Wales, Harleysville, Skippack. Please be honest when telling us your story and email it to us and we will select the family to bring everything to the Wed. before Thanksgiving. Everyone has a rough patch now and again and I think it is important to help out if possible. Thanks!

That was a funny response. I get what you are saying about those people esp because I know people on both sides of the fence..kinda like it seems as though they are removed from the situation. A lot of times people are removed from the situation of what it is like to struggle to get food on Thanksgiving..but pls these people are just as unfortunate as the unfortunate because they feel guilty!!

Now with that being saying dont harrass these people because they too are unfortunate and must seek out ways to level their feelings..but you are just as bad if you continue with this ignorance. We as good people (Christians, Muslims, etc.) should offer a resolution. It would feel uncomfortable, thinking about it, if I was invited over and not having a family or food to eat. What they could do is go to the local church and ask if there is a family that would like to spend Thanksgiving...we all have these people and every city has a church. This would be more appropiate. Another thing, When I donated, I was skeptical about doing this online. If you don't have food to eat...Mr. Doctor, lawyer, high society person...HOW IN GOD'S NAME WOULD YOU HAVE THE INTERNET!!!! THINK ABOUT IT...Donate to church's and organizations like TBN...don't bring strange people into your homes...You are looking for problems...what are you looking for an orgy!!!

Blessings

To the IDIOT Making Comments about Others/Thanksgiving Dinner

Does it make YOU feel better to come on Craigslist and degrade people for offering a Thanksgiving dinner? No matter what their motive, it's not for you to decide if they want to offer it. Your worse than them, because you have to put them down to make yourself feel better about being an asshole. Get alife and stop making dumb comments on the free section of Craigslist.

i'm glad i don't go to your stupid church! what if they are athiest? agnostic? not like you? at the very least, this probably isn't any of your business and i'm unsure why you would waste your time replying in such a silly manner.

1980's Lifestyles and Social Trends | Baby Boomers Become "Yuppies"

The Rise of the Young Urban Professionals.

At the end of the 1970s Jerry Rubin, onetime radical antiwar activist, began working on Wall Street, a surprising event that the media saw as symbolic of a change taking place in the baby-boom generation: the radicals of the 1960s counterculture were growing proestablishment. Mean-while, with less publicity than Rubin, other members of the huge baby-boom generation were also revising their antiestablishment views. Faced with the energy crisis and the runaway inflation of the 1970s, many former student activists were deciding financial power and economic security were goals not to decry but to emulate. Distrust and disdain of corporate America dissipated. Careers in business, once loudly derided, grew increasingly respectable. As the recession of the early 1980s gave way to economic boom times, success American style began to occupy the pedestal baby boomers had once reserved for social...
