Assist in collecting food donations to help Kinship Community Food Center provide families with items to prepare their own traditional holiday meals this Thanksgiving! Kinship Community Food Center engages volunteers and neighborhood residents to end hunger, isolation, and poverty. Kinship is focused on helping their frequent community members have the supplies to cook their own healthy, traditional holiday meals. We are asking families to collect/contribute items that can be used to make a nearly complete holiday meal (aside from the turkey or ham!)
Activities
Take your children to visit houses in your neighborhood to ask for donations. Families may also choose to simply donate on their own without going door-to-door. Once you register, we will follow up with a detailed email with important dates, specific dropoff locations, a list of what food items to collect, and prepared documents to help set your children up for success. This is also a good opportunity for scouts and other organized groups to collect items together!
Impact
Children will have the opportunity to feel directly capable of making change in our community. They will have the chance to learn about food insecurity and how they have the power to help. By taking the lead, your children will help families have the opportunity to cook a healthy traditional meal during the holiday season. Without their help, this would not be possible for the families.
