California Ministerial Alliance Holds Thanksgiving Meal at Nutrition Center

Loretta Hutchison has helped out with the annual Thanksgiving meal at the California Nutrition Center since 1987. She had heard about the event and was looking for something to fill up the vacant space left after losing her husband the same year. Volunteering at the center and helping out with the meal held by the California Ministerial Alliance has been great for Hutchison and something which has been a blessing for her.
