Every year, we come together as a church community to provide special baskets to those who need a little extra help during the Holiday season. Each basket is made by one of you! It is made by your household, home group, or Bible study group and delivered to a family on your behalf who may not otherwise be able to afford a holiday meal celebration.

If you would like to provide a basket this year, here are the details. Each basket should contain the items listed below (which will also be sent to you in a confirmation message). Feel free to get creative and include extra items or embellishments in your basket. Some examples include tea towels, candles, patterned napkins, kitchen utensils, a personal card with a note, etc., etc. Please make sure all additional items are non-perishable and do not require refrigeration.

Baskets should be sufficient to feed a family of 5-6 people.

Thanksgiving Baskets
Thanksgiving baskets should be delivered to the church office by Sunday, November 15.
