Love in Every Box, Hope in Every Meal

BOL header 1

For over 15 years the Mission has worked together with hundreds of volunteers and community partners to distribute more than 1,000 Thanksgiving meals annually during it's Turkey Bag Distribution. As we prepare for this upcoming holiday season, we are thrilled to announce this year's revitalized Thanksgiving outreach - Box of Love!

The Mission will continue to provide all the fixings for a traditional thanksgiving meal for a family of 4-5 people, with a renewed focus on supporting a fun, family-oriented holiday feast.

Each Box of Love includes side dishes, a turkey, homemade dessert, and a family activity!
