Participating if You're Not Near a Site
Thanksgiving Food Drive makes a tangible difference for families struggling with food insecurity during the holidays. You can participate as an individual or organize a mini drive with your group, wherever you live, to show God’s love in a tangible way. Here’s how:
Request a box here - by November 10. Let us know how many you can fill and we will ship them to you in the US if you’re 45 minutes away from a site..
Find people to help using the tips below, and deliver the boxes to them no later than November 25.
Live outside the US and want to participate? Email anywhere@crossroads.net and we’ll get you connected.
Tips to Find People to Help:
Individuals
Are there any families you’re connected to who would be blessed by having their Thanksgiving meal covered? Think of people from your kids’ school, your workplace, small group or sports affiliation.
Local partners
Reach out to a local church, faith-based non profit, school or food pantry in town to see if you can donate a box to families they are already planning to help. Let them know what’s on our shopping list and offer to personally deliver to the receiving families.
If you need further help finding a family to give your box to, send us a message.
