- Gibson Gobbler Thanksgiving Meal Give-A-Way: The Gibson is excited to announce they will be providing a Gobbler Thanksgiving Give-A-Way Meal again this year to seniors who reside in the City of Upland. The Gibson Senior Center has partnered with local senior housing establishments who can identify seniors in their communities that can benefit from this outreach program. Currently, we are seeking interested participants who would like to “Take A Feather To Make Someone’s Life Better” by making a food donation of items listed on the feathers or go the extra mile and adopt a senior by providing the entire meal. You choose the level you can afford to donate. All items must be dropped off at the senior center the week of November 16th. For more information, please call (909) 981-4501.
