Every Box of Love Needs a Turkey.
Monday, November 23, 2026
1017 French St., Erie, PA 16501
On Monday, November 23, 2026, the Mission will once again join with hundreds of volunteers and community members to give out more than 1,000 Thanksgiving meal packages. Each one feeds a family of 4–5 and includes a full Thanksgiving dinner, a Bible, a handwritten card, and homemade cookies. At the center of every table is the turkey, and that’s where your gift goes. Your donation helps us buy the turkeys that make each Box of Love a real Thanksgiving dinner for a family who may need a little extra this season. Thank you for helping us share God’s love, one meal at a time.
Annual Report 2026
For 115 years, the Erie City Mission has stood as a beacon of hope in our city. Through meals, shelter, recovery, education, and outreach, lives are being restored and futures rewritten. Take a look at what you made possible this past year, from meals served and nights of refuge to New Life graduates, stable housing, and thousands of volunteer hours, and then looks ahead to what’s next—building the Haven for Women and Children. Thank you for walking with us this far. We simply ask that you keep standing with the Erie City Mission.
