Thanksgiving Food Drive – October and November
Our Thanksgiving Food Drive helps families and individuals enjoy a warm, nourishing holiday meal while easing food insecurity throughout the year.
Shop our Amazon Wish List to ship food directly to our food hub or pack and donate a box filled with Thanksgiving essentials with a $25 grocery gift card and drop it at specific times at Cornerstones FREE from Hunger Center (food hub).
Gift Cards for the Holidays – November and December
The holidays can be especially difficult for families, seniors, and neighbors experiencing homelessness. Through our Gift Cards for the Holidays Drive, donors provide gift cards that support our clients during the holiday season and throughout the year, offering the dignity of choice to purchase what they need most—whether that’s food, household essentials, or a special gift
Shop our Amazon Wish List or drop your gift cards at our main office.
