Thanksgiving 2023 – THANK YOU!
During November of 2022, we began our Thanksgiving support. We provided full Thanksgiving meals to two families in need. This year (2023), we more than DOUBLED our impact! We were able to provide full Thanksgiving meals to six local families throughout Southern Idaho as well as extra turkey and various donations!
An overview of the support we provided for Thanksgiving 2023:
* 4 full meals to families in and around Kuna & Melba, Idaho
* 1 full meal in Emmett, Idaho
* 1 full meal to a Ronald McDonald House resident family in Boise
* 1 turkey and four full boxes of miscellaneous extra food to Ronald McDonald House, Boise residents for longer term backstock
All meals provided consisted of turkey, sides (corn, green beans, potatoes, gravy, etc), fresh bread, desserts such as pies and cookies, cookwear, and family books and games for relaxation and bonding time after dinner. Delilah even included the customary small stuffed animal(s) and other little comfort items as well as some festive decor for their tables.
Just like last year, did our best to provide a fully-ready Thanksgiving “kit” presented in such a way where it felt like a comforting gift to the families and individuals. Turkeys were placed in their own cooling bags and the rest of the sides, bread, desserts, games, books, and cookware were placed in large reusable decorative shopping bags complete with little bows on them.
A couple of the recipients knew who the packages came from and met with us, and most did not meet with us in person as we coordinated the drop off and pick up through a mutual party (and we hope that the kind gift from strangers, with YOUR help, was enough to give the families a nice evening together, a sense of relief of not having to spend the extra money on the ever-spiking costs of food, a sense of hope, and a sense of love).
We are so thankful for the generous support of our communities and neighbors near and far. We would not be able to make this all possible without your help!
THANK YOU!
