Autumn brings thoughts of Thanksgiving and Christmas, so we must start early to be sure to have everything in place for the holidays.
Want to take part? We will need Thanksgiving baskets for about 150 families, ranging in size from 2 to 10 family members. Please consider providing a thanksgiving dinner for that family - turkey and all the fixings - or a gift card that will provide what that family will need for that dinner. (Note: a basket may consist of everything but the turkey, which can be covered by including a gift card for that one item.) Baskets will be delivered on Saturday, November 22nd.
For Christmas, adopt a family and provide the toys and other items the family wants to make their Christmas a wonderful one. We will provide all but the family's name - and see to it the family gets their goodies.
If none of these ideas work for you, please consider making a cash donation to help us meet this need.
Only requirement is having an interest in helping others. This opportunity is sponsored by: The Community Food Pantry
