Ambassador and Mrs. Timken Contribute Thanksgiving Turkeys to Stadtmission

November 22, 2005.

Ambassador and Mrs. Timken and Embassy staff served Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings to the homeless at the Berliner Stadtmission's Zentrum Lehrter Bahnhof on November 22. Thanksgiving, celebrated this year on November 24, is a holiday rooted in the spirit of gratitude and sharing. It is a family holiday but it is also a time when many Americans donate time and money to those who are less fortunate, for example, by participating in Thanksgiving dinners at centers for the homeless. Based on her work with charities in the United States, Mrs. Timken initiated this new Embassy Thanksgiving tradition in Berlin. The Stadtmission offers shelter and serves an evening meal to over 100 homeless people every evening. More about Thanksgiving
