2025 Thanksgiving Food Drive: November 2 – 16
Join us in helping local families in need served by the Connecticut Department of Children & Family Services. This UCR Thanksgiving tradition invites the community to come together in gratitude and generosity.
Your contributions make a real difference. The Board of Christian Outreach will donate 60 ShopRite turkey gift certificates, and we invite you to complete each family’s meal by donating non-perishable sides for a family of five.
Suggested Items (all non-perishable):
- Holiday favorites: instant or canned potatoes, stuffing mix, cornbread, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, gravy, juice, Parmalat milk, coconut milk, and dessert.
- Pantry staples: bouillon cubes, chicken stock, adobo, cumin, curry, garlic, salt & pepper, mayonnaise, hot sauce, tomato paste, guava paste.
- Extras that make the day easier: paper plates, cups, napkins, aluminum foil.
- Feeling generous? Add breakfast items too!
