Thanks to you, 3,100 deserving families were able to come together this Thanksgiving and cook a complete Thanksgiving meal at home!

How did you do this? Your generosity during Aurora Family Service’s (AFS) Family to Family Thanksgiving helped provide the ingredients – a 12-pound turkey, bread, butter, potatoes, stuffing, vegetables and dessert – for a family in need. The key here is that helping families maintain holiday traditions does more than feed them for the day: it helps strengthen neighborhoods, too.

Since 1996, your donations to Aurora Family Service have helped more than 64,000 deserving families prepare a Thanksgiving meal together. That’s nearly 250,000 smiles! You’ve been helping a lot of people for a long time, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

In addition to Family to Family Thanksgiving, AFS helps families throughout the year through parenting education, mental health services, comprehensive services for the elderly and their families, and financial counseling. For more information about how you can help families all year long, contact Anya Gordon at 414-219-4716 or at anya.gordon@aurora.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
