THANKSGIVING FOOD GIVEAWAY
Program Overview
Our Thanksgiving Food Giveaway Program is designed to support underserved and low-income families in our community during the holiday season. As the holiday approaches, we aim to provide food items to families who would otherwise not have food to eat on Thanksgiving Day.
In partnership with local businesses, churches, and community organizations, we identify families in need of support and reach out to them to spread the word about the program.

Once assembled, we distribute these food items to registered families in a centralized location within the community.
The Thanksgiving Food Giveaway Program provides a way for members of the community to work together and share with those most in need. Through donations of food, funds, and volunteer time, we can make a large and lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
