Thanksgiving Food Drive

Join us now through November 20, 2026, for a THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE to help feed neighbors in need this holiday season.

Grab your family, neighbors, friends, school, church and let’s stuff the truck at the shelter with non-perishable canned and dry goods to help ensure everyone has a bountiful spread this Thanksgiving. 

There’s a special need for frozen turkeys, whole chickens, and hams.

  • Corn Bread Mix
  • Packaged Rolls/Breads
  • Boxed Dressing/Stuffing Mix
  • Canned Vegetables:
    • Sweet potatoes or yams
    • Collard greens
