Thanksgiving Food Drive for Friends of the Needy Food Bank
The weekend of November 16th and 17th, St. Anne Friends of the Needy and the Knights of Columbus will be partnering together to collect whole turkeys (any size) and ALL canned goods at our facility.
Our goal is to distribute 500 whole turkeys to make this thanksgiving special for those families in crisis in our community. In addition to the turkey, every family that comes to our facility during our distribution will receive a large food box with fresh produce, meats, dairy and a bag of non-perishable goods. Please see our flyer above for more details on the items we need.
If you’d prefer to donate online, please click here and select the “Friends of the Needy” fund. Your contribution will help with the purchase of the remaining turkeys/hams that we will need for this upcoming holiday season.
If you’d like to volunteer to help at St. Anne Friends of the Needy, please visit our SignUpGenius.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Last month, you helped feed 1,423 households in our community!
