DONATE FOOD, CLOTHING OR MONEY!
We're a community celebration and depend on your help and generosity to serve thousands of people on Thanksgiving. We rely on you for every item. Your group can start a food or clothing drive.
If you aren't collecting ahead of time, you can always bring non-perishable food and other donations Wednesday after 10 am to the WLA Civic, or to drop-off locations listed here.
