Giving at Thanksgiving

As everyone sits down to give thanks, there is an excellent opportunity to extend to the families in the community. Please participate in this year’s Thanksgiving Basket Food Drive. The foods collected will be distributed to one of the over 150 families served by LCAC. The ingredients for each basket include the following items:

• 3 cans each of corn, green beans, and peas
• 1 large can sweet potatoes
• 2 cans of fruit
• 1 bag of marshmallows
• 2 cans or packages of turkey gravy, no jars
• 5 lb bag of white potatoes
• 1 can of cranberry sauce
• 1 large can of pumpkin pie mix*
• 1 6 oz. box of stuffing, no bags
• 2 cans of evaporated milk
• 1 large box of Jell-O
• 1 large box of piecrust mix

*Please purchase the pumpkin pie mix, NOT regular pumpkin pie. The mix is all inclusive. Please place food in sturdy boxes or plastic containers and mark if it is a complete basket from the list above.

Another contribution option is to provide a $20 grocery store gift card that can be used to purchase meat to go with the dinner. Please give gift cards to Susan Homar so they can be included with the baskets.

Thanksgiving food donations will be delivered to the American Legion Hall, 8210 Legion Drive in Lorton on Sunday, November 18, following the 11:15 am service.

If possible please bring food donations on Saturday, November 17, or Sunday, November 18, so as not to conflict with the Christmas Mart. Thank you!
