This Thanksgiving, thanks to the generosity of individuals like you, 401 families who would have otherwise faced a holiday without a warm meal will now gather with their loved ones around a table filled with food. They will be enveloped in the warmth and support from their community—people they may never have met but whose kindness has made a profound difference.
“Words cannot express my gratitude for what you have done for us. As I look at my stocked fridge, I will remember your kindness,” shared one grateful recipient. Another said, “Your community has transformed this season for my family. You cannot imagine how much this means to us.” One individual expressed, “We were down to our last loaf of bread, and I was desperate for assistance. More than anything, I needed to believe in the goodness of humanity again. You and your amazing supporters have restored that faith—thank you for the greatest gift of all.”
A total of 698 donors contributed to this initiative, opening their hearts and wallets to assist those in need. Contributions came from all corners of the world, including Haiti, Italy, France, and Australia. Many others helped spread the word, while creative acts of kindness, like hand-drawn pictures from children, were shared among families. Food stamps, coupons, and even turkeys have been sent to those in need, along with gift cards for grocery stores nationwide.
In just five days, we raised over $20,000, a testament to the collective spirit of giving. Donations varied from a single dollar to several hundred, ensuring that every family who requested help will receive sufficient funds for their Thanksgiving meals. The success of this initiative has truly exceeded all expectations.
Thank you for your incredible contributions that made this possible. The results have been astonishing, and we wish everyone a joyful and fulfilling Thanksgiving, as we all deserve to celebrate together.
