Thanksgiving Basket Brigade

 

WHAT: Volunteers donate and deliver tailor-made baskets of food for thanksgiving feasts to feed families in need.

WHY: The notion behind Basket Brigade is that one small act of generosity, on the part of caring person, can transform the lives of many people. 

This year our goal is  101 Baskets!

WHO: This is the perfect event for children, teams , families, friends, coworkers and company involvement. Simply buy a basket, fill it with food for thanksgiving, decorate it like a gift and show up!

In each basket we place a note: "This is a gift from someone who cares about you. All we ask is that you take care of yourself and do this for someone else someday."
