Charitable Union Thanksgiving

Last November, as art experiment, instead of giving out Thanksgiving dinners to the poor of the city as had been the custom, the Charitable Union asked for "pound" donations of groceries, canned vegetables, etc. , such articles as might be stored and given out as needed during the winter.
The call was responded to quite generously and the committees were able, all through the winter, to send applicants to the storehouse for flour, rice, corn meal, rolled oats, sugar, tea, coffee, soap, salt, canned tomatoes, corn, etc.

The success of this experiment warrants the society in making a similar call for the coming Thanksgiving. All who can make contributions of this kind are requested to leave them with Mrs. Parker, corner E. Ann St. and S. Fifth ave. , Wednesday, Nov. 23, and Thanksgiving day.

Donations of clothing should be left with the committees of the different wards: Mrs. Morris or Miss Sager, First and Sixth wards; Mrs. Bach, Second ward; Mrs. Wetmore or Mrs. Booth, Third ward; Mrs. Parker or Miss Henning, Fourth ward ; Miss M. S. Brown, Fifth ward; Mrs. Lane or Mrs. Finney, Seventh ward.
