The Brockport Ecumenical Food Shelf is asking residents, churches, school and college groups, and local service organizations to donate the fixings of a Thanksgiving meal to households in need in the local community. Donors would purchase and deliver “the fixings” for a complete dinner to a family a few days before the holiday.
Donors are not asked to actually cook the meal, but rather to make it possible for the family to prepare the food themselves. The donated meals should include a turkey or a gift certificate, potatoes, vegetables, stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, bread, margarine, dessert, a foil roasting pan and any other items that would enhance a special meal. The Food Shelf will set up the donors with recipients. The donors will then set up the time to deliver the baskets to the recipients. If a donor is not able to deliver, arrangements can be made with the Food Shelf for delivery.
The deadline to sign up as a basket donor is October 24. For more information or to sign up as a donor, call (585) 637-8169 and leave a message, send an email to brockportfoodshelf@gmail.com, or visit the website at www.brockportfoodshelf.org.
