Thanksgiving Food Drive for Borton Families
Each year, we work together to provide Thanksgiving meals to Borton families who might need a little extra support. Our goal is to ensure every family can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast.
We're looking for donations of turkeys, Thanksgiving trimmings like instant mashed potatoes, gravy, canned vegetables, stuffing, and pies. This year, we're trying a new approach to collecting donations for our Thanksgiving meals. Each class will be assigned a family to put together a food box. You can sign up to donate specific items through Sign Up Genius and send them directly to the classroom. QR Code is listed below for sign up. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your generosity in It's great to see the community coming together to support one another and helping us make this holiday season special for our Borton families!
