Special Thanksgiving Food Drive

  • McKendree United Methodist Church (map)

Food has a way of bringing people together. Sharing a meal or cooking for someone is one of the simplest ways to show care. But for many families, food can also be a source of stress. More than one in three people around the world experience food insecurity, and that reality exists right here in our own community, too.

Help McKendree Kids & Students support local families this Thanksgiving by donating food items to fill the Thanksgiving Meal Bags they are putting together during their Wednesday Night Programming. 

Each Thanksgiving Bag will have:
• 1 Easy mac and cheese
• 1 Canned microwavable pasta
• 1 Canned microwavable soup
• 3 Breakfast items (granola bar, fruit bar, Pop-Tart, or small cereal)
• 3 Snacks (individually wrapped chips, crackers, or fruit snacks)

Drop off in the box labeled "Thanksgiving Bags" in the Narthex.
