Thanksgiving 2024 is happening!
Bringing together the food needed to feed our community is a perennial challenge and we rely on the kindness and generosity of our community to help us. Please ‘like’ our Facebook page, keep a close eye on it, and SHARE our posts. Sharing posts helps us reach new people who may not know about our mission yet. Or follow us on Instagram The Thanksgiving box program is not only a program to make sure everyone gets a Thanksgiving dinner, but also ensure you can share the holiday with your family and loved ones. So when signing up to receive a Thanksgiving box, please include everyone you will be feeding on Thanksgiving in the ‘How many in the household’ box
Last year we distributed 2693 Thanksgiving boxes. While we had hoped last year that the economy would get better and prices would relax a little, sadly it has gotten much worse with food prices averaging 34% HIGHER than last year., thus we are expecting very high requests for help. While we would love to meet or exceed the need this year, the reality is we are only signing up for 2500 boxes. This is already a huge number and will be very difficult to meet. However, if we get enough donations, we will of course, meet the demand for as many as we can.
We at Pantry 279 wish you a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday and look forward to seeing you on one of the distribution days of Fri. Nov. 22 and Sat. Nov. 23.
