Support Local Families with Living Classrooms' Thanksgiving Food Drive
Living Classrooms Foundation invites everyone in the community to come together for its Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. This important initiative aims to provide more than 400 families with the holiday meals they deserve. Each family will receive a complete Thanksgiving meal, including a turkey and all the traditional accompaniments, allowing them to celebrate the holiday in the warmth of their own homes.
Making a Difference Together
Last year, through the generosity of community members, over 320 families were served, which provided nourishment for more than 2,500 individuals. This year, the goal is set much higher, and Living Classrooms needs your support to make it happen.
