FLINT, Michigan — Well of Hope, led by President Chia C. Morgan, will host the 18th Annual Blessed to Be a Blessing Thanksgiving Dinner on Tuesday, November 24, from 4 to 6 p.m. at St. Michael’s Conference Center, 609 E. 5th Ave. Catholic Charities has partnered on the event since its fourth year. Organizers say what began as a dream to care for local families in times of crisis has grown into a tradition of unity and support for Flint. “When I planned the inaugural Blessed to Be a Blessing eighteen years ago, it was born from a dream for the city that raised me, guided by a simple question: What do families in Flint need most right now? Back then, the answer was a hot meal and a safe, warm space to connect,” said Morgan. This year’s effort also extends into the home. With Pentecostal Temple Apostolic Church and Metropolitan Baptist Tabernacle, Well of Hope is hosting a washer and dryer giveaway for Flint families.
