Dear Community Partner,
The United Concerned Citizens Organization, Inc. (UCCO) invites you to participate in the Marion County, 22nd Annual, Henry L. Bell Sr. Thanksgiving Outreach, which will be held at Centre Square, 239.N. Spalding Ave, Lebanon, KY 40033, on Thursday, November 28, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. or until all the provisions are depleted. Over the past 21 years our community has served between 250 – 300 meals to individuals from Marion County. We serve members of our community that are sick and shut in, those who lack transportation to join us at Centre Square or that may lack the resources to provide a meal for themselves, or their families. We serve community members that are home alone or working locally with no family or friends to celebrate the holiday with. We serve members that may have to work for the holiday and may not be able to have a Thanksgiving meal and we serve members that may come just to enjoy a festive, community event with others. Whatever the reason, it is an honor to host this event that was the dream of Mr. Henry Lee Bell Sr. who passed away in 2008. His dream has continued to thrive because of the individuals, businesses, churches, schools, and other organizations in this community who have partnered with us to ensure that we continue this momentous event. This event would not have been successful without our community partners who donated their time, energy, and money to provide the venue, food, paper products, decorations, transportation, and service.
If you would like to contribute to this event you can do so through monetary contributions, non-monetary contributions, and volunteerism. We have tried to make things easier for people by signing up to volunteer through our website www.theucco.org
Monetary contributions can be in the form of a check or money order made payable to the United Concerned Citizens Organization, Inc. or UCCO, Inc P.O. Box 74, Lebanon, KY 40033, or you may donate through our websites www.theucco.org PayPal account.
