Thanksgiving Hamper Program 2020-2022
During the height of the pandemic in 2020, I began a mission to help one family have a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. It was a personal endeavor that stemmed from my belief that everyone deserves to experience the warmth and abundance of this special holiday.
The following year, I thought I’d aim higher – with the help of the generous individuals in our community, I was able to extend my reach to three deserving families. This marked the inception of the Thanksgiving Hamper Program; the name captured the essence of delivering baskets filled with all the ingredients one would need for a memorable Thanksgiving feast.
By the third year, the outpour of support from the community was staggering & incredibly heartwarming. Doubling the number of families we could assist was beyond what I’d thought we’d be able to do. But sure enough, the impact we made was felt throughout the neighborhood.
This year, our goal is to go above & beyond by supporting more families than ever before. To reflect this expanded vision, we have renamed the program "Harvesting Happiness”. This new name embodies our commitment to nurturing & supporting families throughout the entire harvest season.
What is a Thanksgiving Hamper?
A Thanksgiving hamper is a basket (or box) filled with food items used to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. These food items include but are not limited to, fresh fruits and vegetables, artisanal bread, a turkey, and dessert.
Each basket is donated in full to a family in need.
We thank you for your donations. ♥️
“I wanted to thank you and everyone else involved for that hamper. With the food that you brought, me and my daughters made a beautiful Thanksgiving feast, AND I made the best soup we’ve ever had with the left overs. We had 4 meals from what you brought, it was really helpful for me financially, and was a moral booster - it felt really good to be ‘taken care of’ by others
Please extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone on your team. You all made a real difference for us this year. Thank you so much!” - past recipient
