We had 50,000 people who needed a meal this year, then the requests kept coming and you kept giving, so we did even more than we planned.
Thanks to our faith & corporate partners and individual givers, we were gave hope and a dinner to over 65,000 this year!
We’re so grateful.
A BIG thanks to @EWErickson for having us on his show today to talk about generosity and our Thanksgiving Project providing holiday meals to families across the country.
It's always an honor to be invited on to chat.

We’ve had people ask “when do we give?”.
You can give whenever you’d like (even today!), but our official giving day is Friday, November 15th.
Some will give what they spend on food for a day, others much more.
How can you live generously?
In 2023, a 16-pound frozen turkey averaged $27.35 and accounted for 45% of the cost of a Thanksgiving feast, which cost $61.17.
We’ve identified over 50,000 people that need a meal this year.
For $40, you can give a meal to a family. (head to https://t.co/ri74BDupzh to give)
Who do we help during Thanksgiving?
There’s thousand of families this year who aren’t sure how they’ll provide a nice meal this holiday season. Last year, we helped a single mom while she’s going back to school to make a better life for her kids. Let’s live generously!
A new corporate partner this year is @866_best. With over 80 locations across the nation, we're looking forward to helping many people experience the same kind of Thanksgiving meal that you and I will have this year.

Our Thanksgiving campaign has officially begun! We could use your support as we are expanding our sphere to include those families impacted by the hurricane.
We've identified over 50k people who may not have a Thanksgiving meal without our help.
We'll be giving Thanksgiving dinners to shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries, but also families still rebuilding from Hurricane Helene & Milton.

I am fortunate to serve on the board of @HungryForADay, and this year, our goal is to provide 50,000 Thanksgiving meals to families in need. We could use your help. It only costs $40 to feed an entire family. Please give it some thought.
