GEDCO, TKF, and the Baltimore community all worked together to see this vision become reality just in time for Thanksgiving 2006. Govans Ecumenical Development Corporation (GEDCO) works in partnership with faith-based and community organizations to provide affordable housing, support services, food and emergency assistance to neighbors in need.  A major new project for low-income senior housing is Stadium Place, of which Thanksgiving Place is the interfaith epicenter of the project.  Thanksgiving Place is the gathering center and place of reflection for individuals and the community at large.  Featured at the site of the historic Memorial Stadium are flowering gardens, groves of trees, benches, a labyrinth, and most uniquely, a bell tower watching over the entire space, calling the community to gather and reflect.
