Pasadena Firefighter’s Help Prepare Turkey and Fill Blessing Bags for Over 500 People on Thanksgiving Day

On Friday, November 20th, at 5:00 p.m. Pasadena Fire Department and the Fink family will prepare and fill blessing (gift) bags to distribute on Thanksgiving (27th) when the Pasadena Sandwich Company will serve over 500 meals to families in Pasadena who are transitioning from homelessness to self-sufficiency.

The “Thanksgiving Share A Meal” is a collaborative effort of the Pasadena Fire Department, Pasadena Unified School District, Pasadena Sandwich Company and the Stephen E. Fink Memorial Fund.

The Pasadena Sandwich Company is a Pasadena landmark. The Fire Department has a long standing tradition of giving back to the community it serves and has supported the Pasadena Sandwich Company in their ongoing outreach to bring greater awareness to families facing difficult times. Invitations to families for this event will be coordinated through the Pasadena Unified School Districts Families in Transition Section, which is supported by Socorro Naranjo and Martha Jimenez.

The collaborative event is to recognize the difficulties of families in transition and offer them a nice dining experience at the Pasadena Sandwich Company so they can partake in a carefree family oriented dinner among friends on Thanksgiving Day.
