OHOP's Central Florida Compassion Center Thanksgiving Outreach-Part 2
More and more people kept coming. It was so neat to see the amount of families that came that night.
The food never ran out. 
The blankets were a HUGE hit.
It was getting colder by the minute so they all started wrapping up in their new blankets.
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and they were very thankful.
The 3 Amigos
Chatting with one of the men who came to the outreach.
Our children stayed in the CFCC's Computer Lab most of the evening. This kept them safe and busy with some thing to do.
I did have a nice surprise. Lisa introduced me to this gentleman who was from another church. She said he use to play in the major leagues. I said, "GREAT!" He said, "Oh, do you like baseball?" I told him I did but not to laugh when I told him what team I liked. He said he wouldn't so I told him the Cincinnati Reds. Well, wouldn't you know it that is the team he played on as catcher when he was playing ball. His name is Eddie Taubensee and he was the Red's catcher for many years. I got so excited - I told him my dad was an avid RED's fan and he and his whole family was from Cincinnati. I asked him if he would give him a call and he did. It just made my dad's night! Thanks Eddie
He also blessed me with a picture and he took my dad's address so he could mail him an autographed picture! Thanks again Eddie - you made our night!
More blankets
More eggs to give away
More smiles
Another door prize winner!
He was so thankful!
Even more door prizes.
More food
And they kept coming and coming!
Turkey's and Ham's
They waited patiently for a table.
The good kept coming!
What a wonderful successful night! A huge thank you to Ken and Lisa who are the Pantry's Director's. Also, to all the volunteers who made this dinner possible! If you would like to make a donation to OHOP's Central Florida Compassion Center please email Ken at KJArtigas@aol.com
