We are seeking 3 gift cards for Thanksgiving meal alternative


As Thanksgiving approaches, three of the families we serve are facing unique challenges that make preparing a traditional holiday meal difficult. We’re reaching out for support in providing a Kroger or Bob Evan's gift card for these situations, which offer flexibility for families to either pick up prepared meals or purchase the items that best fit their needs.

These gift cards will help ensure that every family can experience the comfort and warmth of a Thanksgiving meal — in whatever way works best for them this year.
Thank you for helping us bring a little extra care to families during the holiday season.
