Giving the gift of togetherness to local families!

Overview

Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate connection, gratitude and the joy of gathering around a table with loved ones. At ICAN, we believe that every family deserves the opportunity to create those special memories! This annual effort provides a full dinner to our families with all the fixings! Our staff purchases, packs and delivers everything to homes in plenty of time to prepare for the holiday.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, over 250 families celebrated Thanksgiving through our program last year. This year, we’ll reach even more and we invite you to be part of it.

We are now taking donations for our 2025 holiday season!
A gift of $50 provides a full Thanksgiving meal for a family!

Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, rolls, gravy, condiments, and dessert for families to create strong traditions and joyful moments, and to have a sense of belonging.

You can help support our effort this year by donating online or you can send in your tax-deductible gift, made payable to ICAN!
