Our annual Thanksgiving Giveaway is a giant party we throw the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at our Glendale campus where VC volunteers provide uncooked turkeys and food baskets to about a thousand families who otherwise might not be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.
In addition to the food items, there are games, free clothing, free hot dog meals and tons of fun as we celebrate Thanksgiving together!
Last year 301 volunteers gave away 975 full turkey food baskets, 1,400 hot dog dinners, and 1,062 pounds of clothing to families in need.
Join us on Tuesday, November 20 as a guest or volunteer to help! Also, please spread the word to a family you may know in need.
