For more than a decade, our GrassROOTS community and supporters have filled plates and hearts during the holiday season, and for the past eight years our annual Turkey Challenge has encouraged us all to care for those in need. This year we are expanding our Turkey Challenge to include hurricane relief for families in St. James and St. Mary, Jamaica, in addition to our ongoing efforts in New Jersey. Together, we’re working to raise $60,000 to deliver food assistance and essential supplies to our community. With you donating just $25 towards this initiative, you can help provide a healthy meal among other resources for families in need.

We’re spending our by showing up for our neighbors here at home and across the world during this season of ⭐️🌍 👸🏾

We at GrassROOTS expand our relief efforts to our community in the Global South, and honor our roots in Ghana, Haiti, Jamaica, Kenya, and South Africa.

This year, that commitment feels especially urgent, as families in Jamaica are currently recovering from the devastating effects of Hurricane Melissa and our communities in New Jersey continue to face economic hardships. Our annual Turkey Challenge is one of the ways we offer relief to our community. Your generosity helps us to extend care to those who need it the most. This is a reminder that gratitude isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action, and together we can turn thanks into impact.

Help us to our community and donate today.
