Thanksgiving Food Drive

No One Should Go Hungry During Thanksgiving.

For many in our community with stressed budgets and financial challenges, a Thanksgiving dinner just isn’t possible. Your support of Cornerstones’ annual Thanksgiving Food Drive will help make a fulfilling holiday possible for nearly 1,000 families this holiday season. 

Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, Cornerstones will be running the Gifts for Kids Drive concurrently with our Thanksgiving Food Drive this year to reduce the number of interactions for everyone involved. All deliveries will be conducted using social distancing measures: donors will drive up and remain in their vehicles while volunteers unload their donations.

We will be accepting donations for the 2021 Thanksgiving Drive at the following location:

  • St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 11900 Lawyers Road, Reston, VA 20191, on the following schedule: 
    • Monday, November 15 – Thursday, November 18, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM 
    • Friday, November 19, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM 

Once again for 2021, Cornerstones will be partnering with Giant at North Point to provide a quick, one-stop shopping experience to purchase your donation of food.  For $50 per box, including tax, you can buy a complete box of food plus a gift card, and Giant will prepare everything for delivery to Cornerstones.  Please visit the Customer Service Desk to make your purchase.

  • Giant Food, 1450 North Point Village Center, Reston, VA 20194
    • Monday, October 11 through Friday, November 12

To register your donation for the drive, regardless of how you plan to donate (in person or at Giant of North Point), please fill out the form by clicking the button below. 

Thank you!

Why participate?

Employees from Navient gave nearly 6,000 cans and boxes of non-perishable food along with $25 grocery gift cards for families to purchase a turkey or other essential items for their Thanksgiving meal.“Having access to a warm meal is a luxury that most of us simply take for granted, especially on Thanksgiving,” said Brian Lampe, director, Navient. “We are proud of all the hard work and dedication of our employees, and we are grateful to once again have the opportunity to work with Cornerstones to ensure that families in our area will not go hungry on Thanksgiving.”
