Traditions like preparing a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal with family promote confidence, stability and hope during difficult times. As our community faces unprecedented times, it is more important than ever that together we help local families celebrate Thanksgiving in their homes.
Since the program began in 1996, Aurora Family Service, its volunteers and generous donors like you have provided over 70,000 deserving families with ingredients to prepare a Thanksgiving meal in their homes. For the health and safety of our community, Family to Family Thanksgiving will look a little different this year but the impact remains the same. Families will receive vouchers to shop for Thanksgiving ingredients at their local Pick ‘n Save or Metro Market store.
Every gift of $35 helps another family in need enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. With your help, Aurora Family Service will continue its tradition of providing a Thanksgiving meal to 3,100 local families.
You can also give together with your colleagues or become a sponsor.
