Thanksgiving Bag Collection
October 13 - November 13
Every year, we collect and distribute bags of food to ensure that families in our community can celebrate Thanksgiving with a delicious meal. This year, our goal is to collect enough bags for TWO meal distributions: one at Townsell Elementary, and one at our local partner All Things Made New.
There are three ways you can help:
- Pack a bag using the shopping list below and drop it off in Town Square by November 13.
- Make a financial donation and let us do the shopping for you.
- Sign up to volunteer (your kids can join you!) at one of our bag distribution events on November 16.
Shopping list:
- 4 canned goods: such as green beans, corn, yams, etc.
- 2 bags or boxes: options include pinto beans, rice, or mashed potato mix
- 2 cans or jars: choose from cranberry sauce, applesauce, or fruit
- 2 boxes: macaroni or stuffing
- 1 dessert mix: like cake, cookie, or brownie mix
- A $20 gift card to Walmart or Kroger for purchasing a turkey and fresh produce
- A brief note of encouragement
- Include your favorite Thanksgiving dish or paper goods
- Please refrain from including bread, rolls, chips, or any items that may easily crush or spoil.
