Petaluma, Calif. (Dec. 3, 2019) — Employees from CrossCheck and its affiliate, Optio Solutions, kicked off the holiday season by donating 25 turkeys to the Redwood Gospel Mission’s 2019 Great Thanksgiving Banquet. The 400 pounds of fresh and frozen turkeys were delivered Nov. 25 in time for the mission’s hot turkey dinner celebration (11 am to 7 pm, Wed., Nov. 27) at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. The multi-purpose gathering helps families in need as well as the homeless.

“Donating Thanksgiving turkeys is a longstanding company tradition,” said CrossCheck CEO and President J. David Siembieda. “It’s also part of our ‘holiday giving trifecta’ that continues with our participation in the Redwood Empire Food Bank’s Holiday Food and Funds Drive and the Salvation Army Angel Tree program.”

“The Great Thanksgiving Banquet has been a vital part of our community outreach for over 20 years,” states the mission. “We will serve up to 5,000 hot turkey meals. There will be haircuts, coat give away, medical evaluation, foot washing, family food bags, games, and many other activities. We will conduct chapel services with the Gospel message. All these services are provided free of charge. Everyone is welcome!”
