Cornucopia of Food
Our families receive a whole cornucopia of food for their Thanksgiving feast. Each family receives groceries to help them prepare all of the holiday classics: turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, cornbread, dinner rolls, canned and fresh vegetables, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, dessert mix, and more! We also include a Kroger gift card for perishable ingredients and family-favorite recipes, a devotional, resource guide, and our Thanksgiving rubber duck.
Family Nominations
For the families we help, we look to the Roanoke community to identify families that may need assistance for Thanksgiving. Any family who lives in Roanoke City or County can be nominated. We don't verify income or have any other qualifications because any one of us could be living comfortably one day and struggling to make ends meet the next day.

Our total budget for this Mission is $4,900 to fully provide for all families. If our fundraising exceeds our needs, we will direct extra funds to help families during our Easter Mission in the spring.
