We’re a community celebration, and your generosity helps us faithfully serve hundreds of people every Thanksgiving!

What We Need!

Financial Donations (Money)

Every $15 financial donation provides a complete Thanksgiving meal for one person in need. A $75 donation provides 5 meals, while $300 provides 20 meals.

Your donation helps cover the essential costs of hosting an event of this size, including meals, supplies, tables and chairs, lights, generators, trucks, food warmers, security, and other essential production costs. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us make Thanksgiving extra special for our guests and our community.
