In November 2023 we purchased supermarket gift cards and distributed them to 1,300 families so they could buy food for their Thanksgiving meal.

The supermarket gift card progam expense was $40,000. Due to the increase in the number of people we are serving, and the corresponding increase in our expenses to purchase food every week, we are not able to fund supermarket gift cards in 2024.

If your organization, neighborhood or company wants to donate gift cards for a Thanksgiving month distribution to clients, we can help you make it easy and fun to engage your community. Reach out if you’re interested.

We are thankful for Trinity Church and the Islamic Center of Boston for their regular donations of gift cards for this program.
