It's Blessing Basket Time!

We're Going BIG This Holiday Season!

50 families waking up on Thanksgiving morning with everything they need for a complete holiday meal. Food that fills the table AND hearts filled with hope. Each basket is a tangible reminder that their community stands with them, that they matter, and that they're not alone.

Our mission is simple but powerful: Partner with PORCH to create 50 Blessing Baskets that will bring joy, relief, and holiday magic to families who need it most.

Here's How WE Win (Yes, WE - This Is a Team Effort!)

The secret sauce? US and our incredible networks!

Think about it: between our family group chats, our work crews, our church communities, our book clubs, our gym buddies, and those neighbors who always wave hello - we know SO many people who would love to be part of something meaningful this season.

Let's tap into those networks and watch the magic multiply!

Text the siblings. Post in the community Facebook groups. Mention it at the next meeting. Drop it in the work Slack channel. When we all spread the word, 50 baskets becomes not just possible - it becomes inevitable!

Flexibility Is Key 🗓️

Running ahead of schedule? Drop off your basket early! We know life gets hectic during the holidays, so we're making this as easy as possible for you. Work with YOUR timeline, and we'll make sure these baskets reach families who need them.

What Goes in a Blessing Basket?

Start with a laundry basket (skip the bags - we want these families to have something reusable and practical long after the holidays!). Now here's where it gets fun: DECORATE IT! Tie on ribbons, add bows, attach a heartfelt card, make it YOURS. These baskets should radiate joy from the moment families see them!

The Essentials:

The Main Event:

• $20 Visa or Mastercard gift card (so families can choose their perfect turkey or protein)

The Supporting Cast:

• Canned corn, green beans, and cranberry sauce (two of each if you're feeling generous!)
• Boxes of stuffing and mashed potatoes
• Gravy (can or packet works great) and cream of mushroom soup
• Biscuit or muffin mix
• Non-perishable dessert (think pie filling, brownie mix, cookies - something sweet to end the meal!)

The Extra Love (Optional but Amazing):

• Paper plates and napkins (one less thing to worry about!)
• Card games (for post-dinner family fun!)
• Pet food and treats (because furry family members deserve holiday love too!)

Let's Make This Happen Together! 💪

Imagine the impact: 50 families sitting down to a complete Thanksgiving dinner. 50 moments of relief. 50 reminders that they're not alone. 50 reasons to be grateful.

That's what we're creating together.

So let's DO this! Grab your laundry basket, round up your supplies, get creative with those decorations, and let's show our community what happens when good people decide to act.
