For 50 years, the St. Vincent de Paul Society has sponsored an annual Thanksgiving food box outreach program for those less fortunate. This is a family-to-family act of charity. Your family can share the tradition of Thanksgiving with families in need.
A food box includes a turkey of at least 10 pounds, 10 pounds of potatoes, a roasting pan, and all the trimmings to provide a nice Thanksgiving meal for four to six people.
We welcome those of you who would like to follow our shopping list and create your own Thanksgiving food box for $80 to feed a family of up to 6 people. This year, if you would like to make a financial contribution instead, St. Vincent de Paul will do the shopping and put a box together on your behalf. Any other donations will support extended food assistance to those in need. Click the buttons above to register to receive, donate, or volunteer!
