Mountain View – Giving Thanks Back to the Community

Mountain View is a very special community that gives to those in need.

This sense of community was personified over the weekend when more than 150 Mountain View community members gathered to organize and deliver Thanksgiving care baskets filled with food, vouchers for turkeys and stuffed animals to 270 families in need this holiday season.  This marked the 13th annual “Cops and Gobblers” event.

“The day went very well,” said organizer Bruce Barsi, adding that the volunteer turnout also made the day a success. “They get as much, if not more, out of it than the recipients,” he said.*

This show of charity was made possible by the Mountain View Police Association, with the help of the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs and the Challenge Team.

Gables End is proud to be part of such a generous and giving community.

Happy Thanksgiving from our team at Gables End.
As a reminder, we will be closed Thurday (11/26) and Friday (11/27) in observance of the holiday.
