Thanksgiving Giveaway

In 2013, Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. held its first official Thanksgiving Giveaway. Now an integral part of the numerous no-cost community food programs we offer at GPHC, our annual Thanksgiving Giveaway tradition — now in its 12th year — is a collaborative effort that unites our staff, board members, donors, neighbors, partners and tireless volunteers, all of whom are instrumental in distributing free Thanksgiving food boxes for upwards of 450 in-need families — including Smith Elementary School students, low-income senior community centers and our own pantry families. Last year we provided nearly 1,600 meals and 450 King Soopers gift cards, received 194 donations, raised $15,000 and distributed 300 pies, 1,700 dinner rolls, 5,600 cans and packages of Thanksgiving essentials and nearly 1,000 pounds of fresh vegetables. And this year we hope to nourish even more food-insecure families. To learn more about the history of our Thanksgiving Giveaway, please read this article.
