Everything BUT the Turkey! - Box Delivery
This Thanksgiving let's make sure every family can gather around a table full of love and a meal to share!
We need your help in helping to deliver these meals to our clients.
As Thanksgiving approaches, Catholic Social Services is once again joining with local parishes, schools, and community partners to ensure that families in need can gather around a full holiday table.
This year, we’re excited to host our first annual Everything But the Turkey Food Collection Drive — providing all the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving meal (except the turkey!) and helping more than 2,000 people celebrate with dignity and joy.
Volunteers and donors contribute staple items such as stuffing mix, canned vegetables, cranberry sauce, gravy, and dessert mixes. These items are then assembled into food boxes and distributed to families across central Ohio. Each box is paired with a donated gift card to purchase a turkey, ensuring every family can enjoy a complete Thanksgiving meal.
At

now we need your help!
