To help those in need Open Door Mission kicked off their “Turkey N Fixin” campaign Friday. The Open Door Mission is planning on delivering 5,000 turkey-n-fixin boxes to families in need. The best part is that the boxes will be delivered to the families’ houses, so they can enjoy their Thanksgiving meal at home.
American Idol contestant Danny Gokey was on hand Friday at the Shadow Lake Hy-Vee to help kick off the event. He says that helping those in need is very important to him. “I’ve been that guy who’s, you know, had to deal with homelessness myself. Whether you see it or not, it’s there.”

My dude is wonderful.
What a great guy. 🙂 .. And adorable photo. Look at all those strawberries. And little Danny was there to keep him company..
I am really glad Danny takes the time to help other charities, like Open Door Mission. I think he is in his element (when he isn’t singing….) at these type of functions <3
TRIVIA question: Can anyone else remember where they have seen Danny wear that jacket? 🙂
one of the old RCA era WI concerts maybe?
He is such an amazing Man, with an amazing Heart for people in need! that is why admire Him so much. Everything he has gone through he still has a tender heart and thinks of other! Love and Respect Him so much!!!!!
Thinking back over the WI concerts, I don’t think Danny wore the jacket at WI concerts… but perhaps I am missing one?
Hint: bigger occasion 🙂
I don’t think it is this one. The texture seems different.

You are on the right track, Lurker. I thought the CMA show was a pretty cool look 🙂
Hint 2: It was an even bigger audience.
It might be from his Idol appearance for My Best Days.
It also looks like the jacket from the cover of his book–maybe not the same color?
The jacket on his book cover is brown. This one is black, like this
