Hello Family and Friends!!!
Please take a moment to read this in its entirety. Thanksgiving will be here in no time and we're all looking forward to a nice meal and spending quality time with loved ones. But unfortunately that just isn't the case for some families who simply don't have the money to afford it. That's why for the past six years my husband and I have held a Thanksgiving fundraiser that provides families in need with Thanksgiving dinner, through the collective effort of many gracious individuals who donate money and volunteer their time.
Last year's goal was to feed 35 families but we were able to bless 47 families with Thanksgiving meals and gifts! Please watch this video to see how impactful this effort was.
This year we'd like to raise the bar and are committed to feeding at least 60 families (which will be around 600 people). Each family will be provided the option of a fully cooked Thanksgiving meal (OR) a gift basket consisting of a turkey and items to make their own Thanksgiving meal . TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN WE NEED TO RAISE $3,500 along with volunteer support.
We know this goal is definitely possible but it's going to take the support of our friends, families, and anyone with a kind heart to rally behind this cause. We ALL HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR so why not spread the love and show our appreciation by giving back!! No matter how busy you are there's an opportunity for you to contribute in some capacity.
HERE ARE THE WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT:
- Donate money (secured through PayPal)
- Provide items for gift baskets (based on a set list)
- Help solicit donations (monetary and in-kind, specifically gift cards for grocery stores)
- Help prepare gift baskets on Mon. 11/20
- Help drop off gift baskets on Mon. 11/20 & Tues. 11/21
- Prepare side dishes for fully cooked meals on Tues. 11/21 & Wed. 11/22
The 60 families we'll be serving will reside in the Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose area. However, if we exceed our goal and get the support we need, we may be able to serve families beyond those territories.
WE ARE ACCEPTING FAMILY REFERRALS
If you know of a family in Oakland, San Francisco, or San Jose that could really benefit from a Thanksgiving Gift Basket please refer them to me. We trust that you will only provide names of individuals who truly have an immediate need. We can't make any guarantees so please be advised that families will be provided meals on a first come first serve basis.

Warmly,
Jenise and Jareem Gunter
