Help Us Share 150 Thanksgiving Dinners With Local Families
This Thanksgiving, we have a powerful opportunity to bring warmth, joy, and relief to families in need across Northeast Florida. Inspired by Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within, our Thanksgiving Basket Brigade delivers full Thanksgiving dinners to families in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine areas, so they can gather around a table with dignity and hope.
Our Goal
This year, our focus is impact, not size.
Our updated goal is to raise $7,500 to provide 150 full Thanksgiving dinner baskets to local families who need a helping hand.
By partnering with Crosswater Church, simplifying our packaging, and sourcing more cost effective items, we have reduced the cost of each basket to about $50, while still providing everything needed for a meaningful Thanksgiving meal.
Earlier this year, we opened with a stretch vision of serving 500 families. As we have refined costs and confirmed funding, we have aligned this year’s commitment to 150 families we know we can serve well, while still dreaming bigger for the future.
Imagine the Impact
Picture 150 families sitting down to a Thanksgiving dinner they were not sure they could afford, worries eased for at least one important day, and replaced with connection, gratitude, and hope.
Your generosity turns that picture into reality, one basket at a time, one family at a time, one simple act of kindness that ripples through our community.
Our Commitment
Thanks to the generosity of early donors, we are already close to funding 100 baskets. With your help, we are committed to reaching 150 baskets and placing a complete Thanksgiving dinner into the hands of 150 families in Northeast Florida.
We are committed to:
• Delivering at least 150 baskets to families identified by trusted community partners.
• Stretching every dollar, working diligently to lower costs while keeping the baskets generous and high value for each family.
• Honoring every gift, large or small, by turning it directly into food on the table and hope in the home.
Together, we can fill more tables, lift more hearts, and remind families in our community that they are seen, valued, and not alone this Thanksgiving.
