Hells Angels Step Up To Help At St. Anthonys

The sound of revving engines called to start carving turkeys on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 when the Hells Angels came to St. Anthony Dining Room to help out for one of St. Anthonys biggest days of the year. And on Thanksgiving Thursday the historic nonprofit will served more than 3,600 turkey dinners to the poor and homeless; even Craigslist founder Craig Newmark is stopped by to lend a hand.

With the economy in the state it has been the last 2 years, we anticipate many more people will be spending Thanksgiving at St. Anthonys, noted St. Anthonys Interim Executive Director Linda Pasquinucci. We are very thankful that more volunteers and donors are coming through the doors as well, because we have never needed them more.

In conjunction, St. Anthonys 22nd annual curbside donation drive kicked off on Saturday November 21st at 9am, where clean, cared-for warm clothing, canned or dried bulk foods, and monetary donations can be dropped off to St. Anthonys donation valets. As more and more people turn to the 59-year old non-profit for basic necessities as a result of the current economic crisis, the support from everyday citizens is needed.

For 59 years St. Anthony Foundation has provided free, life sustaining support for the poor and homeless. St. Anthony Foundations programs help heal individuals and families by providing a gateway to solutions to poverty, including a Dining Room which serves 2,600 meals every day, an Employment Program/ Technology Lab, Drug and Alcohol Recovery Program, and a Free Medical Clinic. St. Anthony Foundation does not accept any federal, state, or local government money, and is entirely funded by private donations.
