A Time of Giving

In keeping with the season of giving , AWCH held its traditional food drive preceding and during our Thanksgiving Dinner . Two carloads of food and hygiene articles , as well as 256 euros , were donated to Hamburger Tafel e . V . The organization is an important hub for distributing food and goods to Hamburg charities that provide warm meals for the homeless and the many refugees arriving daily from Ukraine . A big thank you to Melissa , Adrienne , and Susan for collecting goods .
