Thanksgiving Build-A-Meal
For many, Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate family and traditions. Providing a thanksgiving meal box to a Bay Area family in need is one tradition that will have a lasting positive impact on our community.
If you are planning to donate a thanksgiving meal, please email or call Kelly Cousins at kcousins@fssba.org OR (510) 834-2443 ext. 3051.
To build a Thanksgiving Build-A-Meal:
In a solid cardboard box (or two strong paper grocery bags), collect all the non-perishable food items needed to build a Thanksgiving meal. You may include bags or boxes of stuffing, canned vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, marshmallows or brown sugar, canned gravy or gravy mix, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie filling, heat and serve dinner rolls, apple cider, etc.
Please note that Family Support Services does not have refrigerated storage space, so only add items that will last for several days at room temperature.
Add a gift card for a grocery store like Safeway so the family may purchase perishable items like eggs, milk and, of course, a turkey!
Drop off your box here at Family Support Services the week of November 18th. We will ensure that your donation reaches one of our families in time to prepare for their holiday celebration!
On Thanksgiving Day, when you sit down with your family to celebrate the bounty in your life, another local family will be celebrating thanks to your generosity!
