Thanksgiving Food Drive 2026 - “Thanksgiving is a time to give, a time to love, and a time to reflect on the things that matter most in life.” As we prepare for the Thanksgiving season, we invite you to join us in sharing God’s love and blessing families in our community through our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive! Your generosity helps provide families with a complete Thanksgiving meal and additional groceries, bringing hope, comfort, and the reassurance that they are cared for. This year’s Thanksgiving Food Drive will run from October 18 through November 14, 2026. Last year, our church was blessed to serve 191 families in our community, and with your help, we hope to continue this mission of love and compassion.
You can participate by signing up on the church website or our app to provide a complete Thanksgiving meal, donate any item from the food list, and/or make a monetary donation. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference! Together, we can make this Thanksgiving a little brighter for families in need and remind them that they are not alone.
