Thanksgiving Food Drive and Distribution

Last year over 830 families picked up groceries for a Thanksgiving meal. We gave out 325 frozen turkeys and gift cards totaling $18,900. After the turkeys ran out, we gave out vouchers so each family had enough money to purchase their own turkey. The first 530 families also got a loaf of pumpkin bread baked by the Milton High School Robotics Club. Over two days we had 423 volunteers at the Holiday distribution site at Roswell Town Center. Also, 142 senior/disabled households received food for a holiday food. Local Girl Scout troops created special Thanksgiving baskets for seniors. The Thanksgiving Food Drive and Distribution could not be possible without the gracious support of our community. Many blessings from your friends at NFCC.
