A lot of people are traveling through some very hard times right now, and the road ahead seems to look more uncertain by the day. The most pivotal, and beautiful, part of a strong community is lending a hand when you can. Bridging the gap of divide by coming together to serve others. The Holiday season should be a time of joy, love, laughter, & gratitude. For many folks this season will be accompanied by worry, stress, and uncertainty. Everyone should have the opportunity to gather with their loved ones, share a meal, fill their bellies, and experience joy without struggle. It has been really heartwarming to see community start to come together and offer resources for those who need a little help getting by. To add to those resources, we’d love to support families in our community by providing meals this Thanksgiving.
We are on a mission to serve at least 20 families in our local community a Thanksgiving meal, and hoping that we can grow that number. To stay organized, ensure that each family gets a similar & complete meal, and do this as efficiently as possible, we have structured this more along the lines of sponsoring a family, and less like a food drive. Below are two sign up links- one to provide a meal, and one to receive a meal. This helps us keep track of meals coming in and meals being gifted. For folks that sign up to receive a meal, I will reach out to the number or email provided with more info. For those who would like to provide a meal, I will reach out with more info and a list of items we are hoping to receive for each family. This list will include a turkey, canned goods, boxed pasta, a starch, bread or rolls, and a dessert. These meals will serve roughly 6-8 people.
Ripple Wellness will serve as the drop off and pick up location. Those providing meals will drop them off at designated times the week of Thanksgiving, where items that need refrigeration will be kept fresh, and other items will be boxed and organized for pick up. There will also be designated times for families that are receiving a meal to pick up their box that will be stocked with all items to make a special Thanksgiving meal.
Please feel free to share this, support a family if you can, and do not hesitate to sign up to receive support if you have fallen on hard times. In such a time of divide, let’s come together to pour love and support into our community. As Jerry said, “through this world of trouble, we gotta love one another”
Big love & gratitude, y’all 🫶
