Getting Ready, And Giving Thanks
Helping Our Neighbors Celebrate The Holiday
We are now working on our 8th Annual Thanksgiving Giveaway, for which we provide meal kits containing all the Thanksgiving essentials.
Last year we distributed 343 kits, helping 1,222 people celebrate the holiday with a delicious, traditional meal. Since our food pantry distribution has increased so much this year, we are certainly anticipating greater need for this program as well. As of this writing, just a couple weeks after opening registration and more than a month before Thanksgiving, we have already committed 240 meal boxes.
As with just about everything in the age of COVID-19, we are doing things a little differently this year. We are using a smaller number of volunteers for safety reasons and are participating in bulk purchasing of some food items thanks to a grant from Food Bank of the Rockies. But we still need your help! Visit greaterparkhill.org/food-programs/thanksgiving for information on donating to this program.
If you are interested in receiving a Thanksgiving food box, give us a ring at 303-388-0918.
Immediately following Thanksgiving, we jump right into our Colorado Gives Day campaign. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, Dec. 8 so you can participate in this annual statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy. We’ll be letting you know how to contribute!
Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. is a volunteer and donor-based organization. A big thank you to our donors and volunteers this past month. We are so grateful!
