Sponsor Thanksgiving Dinner for a Family in Our Community This Year
Grandma’s Love is having the annual Thanksgiving Drive. Last year, the organization was able to feed 160 families with the community’s support.
Grandma’s Love works at some schools in our community. They supply backpacks with food to help families out. During Covid, the need increased of course. Theresa also makes sure the children get a special treat with the food.
Theresa Monteforte is the head of Grandma’s Love and she started the drive early while it’s not a busy season. $30 is all it costs to sponsor a family of four for Thanksgiving Dinner with fresh vegetables! You can use paypal on their site or venmo (see flyer above)
I remember the first time I read about Theresa Monteforte and Grandma’s Love. In the article, Monteforte explained that the Thanksgiving holiday was a something children talked about and bolded over when they returned to school after the long weekend. When I read it, I remember tears coming down my face because something as simple as talking about having a turkey dinner is so important to children and Theresa is an angel for undertanding that!
**If you have any free turkeys that you aren’t using or want to donate some special treats, contact [email protected]
