"Justice For Murdered Children," a 501c3 nonprofit South Bay organization, is seeking donations for its annual Thanksgiving program that provides the families of murder victims with a free turkey dinner.
It costs just $30 to provide one family with a Thanksgiving basket and the need is great this year due to the number of families struggling with job loss and other budget issues.
The recent economic downturn has also affected the number of donations received so far this year, event organizers said.
JFMC is committed to providing a minimum of 50 Thanksgiving baskets for families living in Los Angeles County that have lost a loved one to murder, but would like to surpass their goal if possible. Any assistance toward reaching that goal -- be it a cash gift in any amount or the donation of turkeys, canned goods and other non-perishable food -- is appreciated.
Donations can be made two ways:
Through a Pay Pal account on JFMC's Web site, www.jfmc.org, or by mail to Justice For Murdered Children (JFMC), 24564 S. Hawthorne Blvd., #201, Torrance, CA, 90505.
For more information, call 310-738-4218 or email victimvoices@yahoo.com.
