Support Our Thanksgiving Meal Drive
Help Us Serve Warm Meals to the Homeless This Holiday Season
A single act of kindness can change someone’s entire holiday.
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and sharing — but for many in our community, it is a day marked by hunger and loneliness. This year, we’re coming together to ensure that we share a meal.
Your generosity can help provide freshly prepared Thanksgiving meals to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the New Brunswick community.
