Thanksgiving Food Drive

Thanksgiving Food Drive

  • Rising food costs and reduced benefits are putting extra strain on local families facing food insecurity. To help, United Christian Parish is partnering with Cornerstones for our Thanksgiving Food Drive. Your generous contributions will ensure everyone in our community can enjoy a bright and happy Thanksgiving.

  • This is a wonderful hands-on opportunity for you to share the love of Christ to the vulnerable in our community.

  • Last year we contributed 26 boxes and hope to have even more this year.  Each box contains:

    • 3 cans vegetables (no green beans)

    •   2 cans fruit

    • 1 bottle olive or canola oil (24 oz.)

    • 1 box instant potatoes, stuffing, or macaroni and cheese

    • 1 box or 2.5 lb. bag rice

    • 1 box biscuit or muffin mix

    • 1 (1-2 lb.) bag dried beans or lentils

    • 1 box dessert mix – cake, cookies, etc.

    • 2 lb. bag flour

    • 2 lb. bag sugar 

    • and a $25 grocery store gift card

    The leaves on the trees in the narthex contain items you can buy. Please take as many as you like and bring your food purchases or gift cards back to church either Nov. 8 or 15. 

  • If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you! Make sure to contact us!
