Success of Thanksgiving Project

YES YOU DID IT with 100% success. We are proud to be Bangladesi
Americans living in the greater Kansas City area and be an integral part
of the mainstream community. One more success stories in Community
Service.

Project Description:
As a part of our commitment and dedication to our community, with
cooperation and sponsorship from you, we successfully donated 27 Turkey
brown bags to Linwood YMCA. Our main focus were to those who are ‘not
so lucky families’ in greater Kansas City area during the Thanksgiving
season.

Project result:
We were able to package 27 bags almost close to 600Lbs of foods for
more than 27 families. We collect 508 dollar from 21 families and we
spend 580.43 cents.

Project outcome:
We are so thankful to you and your family for your generous donations
and help to package the brown bags for Linwood YMCA food pantry. We
heard numerous ‘thank you’ and praise from the families who were
standing in the line from 8:30 am in the morning. We promised next year
we will have 100 bags of Turkey and food bags available for families.

We really appreciate ISGC executive committee for helping us through
Harvester and for letting us use the facility to keep the food and
package the brown bags. We also extend our appreciation to the BAGKC
community for their support and generous donations. This is the
beginning of Bangladeshi American Community voluntary work, where we
open doors for future generations as role model. We are involved in
humanitarian works in our community where we live and grow. The Joy of
giving was clearly displayed on our kid’s faces who helped us package
the bags.

Please enjoy the Pictures. We promised that we will have 100 bags for
next Thanksgiving and we know our community will provide spontaneous
support and God willing, we can do make a difference.
