Food drives for Thanksgiving are essential as we serve more than 1,000 meals to celebrate the Holiday and provide our low income families with food to cook at home. Help us to bring Holiday cheer around the table by running a Thanksgiving Food Drive. It’s a great option for businesses, groups of neighbors, classrooms, churches, families, sports teams, or just about any group of people who want to celebrate the spirit of giving during the holidays.
Thanksgiving Food Drives run in November.
A drive is a great way for a group to provide assistance in for the Holidays. If you organize a large drive in your neighborhood, school or work, Samaritan House will provide you with sturdy donation barrels and can work with you to schedule a pick-up of donations when requested.
Samaritan House has a specific list of food that we need for Thanksgiving and the Holidays which ensures we have exactly what we need.
