Boca Helping Hands is seeking community support to provide Thanksgiving meals to local families. Its 22nd annual Thanksgiving Box Brigade program, which provides a turkey and a box filled with everything a family needs to prepare a holiday meal, will feed approximately 24,000 people.
Members of the community can get involved by donating the cost of a box for $29.72 at bocahelpinghands.org/thanksgiving. Boca Helping Hands primarily serves the working poor and seniors who can’t make ends meet.
Community members can also pick up five or more boxes from Boca Helping Hands and fill them with Thanksgiving foods. Visit https://bocahelpinghands.org/ for content details. These boxes must be delivered to Boca Helping Hands by Monday, November 16.
Boca Helping Hands will distribute the turkeys and Thanksgiving meal boxes to current Pantry Bag Program clients the weekend before Thanksgiving at its five drive-thru distribution locations in East Boca Raton, West Boca, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and Lake Worth.
Any contributions that exceed Thanksgiving expenses will be used toward the organization’s food programs throughout the year, helping to support the 200,000 families in Palm Beach County facing food insecurity.
Boca Helping Hands is located at 1500 NW 1st Court, Boca Raton, FL 33432. For more information, please visit BocaHelpingHands.org.
