For many in our community with stressed budgets and financial challenges, a Thanksgiving dinner just isn’t possible.  With your support, Cornerstones will once again work to make a fulfilling holiday possible for more than 1,000 families across Northern Virginia this holiday season.

Registration to Contribute to the Drive

If you would like to contribute to the 2023 Thanksgiving Food Drive, please click on this link to register your donation so that we know to expect your contribution.  Please note that you do not need to re-register if you change the number of boxes you plan to give.

If you plan to build and deliver your own boxes of food, we ask that you use the recommended donations list on this page as your shopping list.  You may also click the list for a printable page to take with you as you shop.  Each meal donation should be provided in a stackable box or plastic bin.  Please note that we collect the gift card for each donated meal separately from the container with the food items.
