Thanksgiving Food Basket Giveaway

Next Date: November 2020

To receive a meal, pre-register at the Food & Clothing Bank.

Volunteer sign-up begins in November.

All volunteers must sign up online. No walk-in volunteers.

Our annual Thanksgiving Giveaway is a giant party we throw the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at our 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 367 volunteers gave away 810 full turkey food baskets, 1,400 hot dog dinners, and 1,003 pounds of clothing to families in need.

Join us in November of 2020 as a guest or volunteer to help! Also, please spread the word to a family you may know in need.
