THX is an opportunity to "live outward" on Thanksgiving day.
Donate to THXWhat is THX?
THX is one way Outward Church extends God's generosity to our community. Each Thanksgiving morning, we serve a fully-cooked Thanksgiving meal, Christmas tree, and presents to Salem families in need.
THX 2017
In 2017, we served 220 Salem families - over 1200 individuals - on Thanksgiving day.
As part of our commitment to "live outward"...
...Outward Church has developed a tradition of serving families in need on Thanksgiving day. We coordinate with several local elementary schools to compile a list of students and their families who would be blessed to receive a meal on Thanksgiving.
In the days leading up to Thanksgiving...
...dozens of volunteers from Outward and the community prepare the various elements of a full Thanksgiving meal, including turkey, potatoes, gravy, green beans, stuffing and rolls. In addition, we purchase Christmas gifts for children and cut and assemble Christmas trees.
On the morning of Thanksgiving day...
...we come together as a church, along with many from the community, to deliver it all. We go out in teams spread out all across the city, taking not only a meal, Christmas tree, and presents, but most importantly, the "reason for the hope that we have" in Jesus.
