aka Thanksgiving meal kits
Friends and neighbors,
We are going to do the Thanksgiving Meal Kit drive again this year!
The Auburn School District counselors will identify 40 needy families to receive the Meal and holiday boxes (last year we were able to do 30, so we are upping our game this year to 40). The schools arrange for delivery or if the recipient prefers to be confidential then they can pick it up at the school.
While the boxes do include meal staples, we also want it to feel special, so we add festive decoration special items, even hand made holiday ornaments.
Boxes will be assembled the weekend before Thanksgiving (Fri. 11/18 – Sun. 11/20/22) and delivered to the families on Monday afternoon before Thanksgiving. We are asking for all donations to be ready to go by 11am on Saturday the 19th so we can count and send our shoppers out to fill in the blanks.
Please don’t hesitate to message us on Facebook @AMHSBooster or email us at [email protected] with any questions! We appreciate the generosity of our community in supporting our families in need. Happy holidays!
