The Goodman Community Center (GCC) announced the start of its annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive. Registration for those looking to receive a basket will open on Monday, Oct. 16, and run through Friday, Oct. 27. The center reports its pantry has seen an unprecedented increase in demand in the last year.
This will be the 35th year that the center has provided products for families to make full Thanksgiving meals at home, once again setting a goal of 4,000 baskets to distribute this year.
Community members who would like to help can make financial donations online, donate food at the center, or host a food drive. More information is available here. Those who host in-person or virtual food drives can access GCC’s provided photos, posters, grocery lists, and helpful tips here.
Though most of the volunteer spots are already filled, those interested can register to be added to the waiting list here.
