Counting Our Thanksgiving Blessings: Thank You for Providing For Our Guests So Bountifully! |
|
|
Thanks to YOU, 550 local families enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving feast filled with fresh produce and all the holiday favorites. We are so grateful for the incredible generosity shown throughout the season. Our community stepped up in remarkable ways: Community Produce Donations Your fresh produce donations helped us offer an abundant selection of fruit and vegetables, ensuring every family could enjoy a truly special holiday meal. Community Turkey Donations Thanks to community members who purchased turkeys at Giant Food and to Giant for storing them, every family who ordered a turkey was able to bring one home. Dedicated volunteers transported thousands of pounds of donated turkeys to make it all possible. Carahsoft Thanksgiving Boxes & Gift Cards We were deeply humbled by Carahsoft Technology’s extraordinary Thanksgiving donation. Through the efforts of hundreds of employees and their partners at Adobe and Equifax, we received 432 Thanksgiving food boxes and 450 gift cards providing meaningful support for our guests during a challenging season. Royal Movers: 9,500 Pounds Delivered And a special thank you to our friends at Royal Movers for transporting the 9,500-lb donation from Carahsoft. Your time, skill, and equipment made a tremendous impact. Community Food Drives We also want to recognize the INCREDIBLE number of food drives hosted by local businesses, schools, neighborhoods, and community groups. Your generosity filled our shelves and ensured we had everything needed to support hundreds of families throughout the holiday season. |
