Thanksgiving Food Drive
Our students are "adopting" three families to bless for Thanksgiving this year, and conducting a food drive to support this effort. Students will be collecting food, baking homemade pies and delivering food and visiting families the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving. If you are able to add a few extra items to your shopping list this week, it would be a big difference!
Thank you for partnering with our students to love others in our community! Take a look at our shopping list below, and sign up to donate selected items for their food boxes. We are also collecting any other non-perishable food items that you would like to share, for families to have before and after Thanksgiving is over, as our community navigates loss of SNAP benefits. Those items can be added to the donation box, and you don't need to sign up in advance.
If you have questions, reach out to Millie Veltkamp at nextgen@belgradealliance.com or 406.388.6030. We are eager to bless four families this year, and without your generosity, this wouldn't be possible.
