    Help Us Share a Thanksgiving Meal with Local Families

    Dear Friends and Neighbors,

    This Thanksgiving season, GBAA Philanthropy is coming together to help local households that could use a little extra support. We are collecting donations to purchase Thanksgiving meals and provide them to eligible recipients in our community.

    Every gift—large or small—will help place a holiday meal on a family's table. You can support the effort by donating, sharing this message, applying for assistance, or suggesting someone who may benefit.

    How to participate
    • Donate by [DONATION DEADLINE]: [DONATION LINK OR PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS]
    • Apply or nominate someone by [APPLICATION DEADLINE]: [APPLICATION LINK / RETURN INSTRUCTIONS]
    • Meal pickup or delivery details: [DATE, TIME, AND LOCATION / DELIVERY AREA]
    Requests will be reviewed using the same published program criteria, without regard to protected characteristics. Assistance is limited and will be provided based on verified program eligibility and available funding.

    Thank you for helping us make Thanksgiving warmer and more hopeful for our neighbors.

    With gratitude,
    GBAA Philanthropy
