WILKINSON CENTER THANKSGIVING BOXES Drive and Distribution
Family to Family
A holiday mission in November by the families of First UMC Rockwall!
Be a part of Wilkinson Center’s Annual Thanksgiving Box Drive and Distribution as First UMC Rockwall folks collect turkey boxes for hundreds of underserved families. This inspiring opportunity can involve every member of your family in compassionate mission together! These Thanksgiving turkey boxes can be a gift from one family to another, in Christ.
First UMC Rockwall’s 2024 Goal – 250 Boxes
What is in a Thanksgiving Box?
- Box for the food. No need for a basket.
- Frozen turkey (separate from the box please)
- Canned vegetables such as: green beans, corn, peas, cranberry, etc.
- Gravy (jar or mix)
- Boxed stuffing/dressing mix and/or boxed potato mix
- Bread, Rolls and/or cornbread mix
- Ingredients for making a Pumpkin or Pecan pie or a fresh pie (no frozen pies please)
- Include food items or recipe ingredients that are part of your Thanksgiving Celebration!
- Financial donations are also accepted to purchase turkey vouchers from Butterball. All checks payable to Wilkinson Center.
Optional Items:
- Festive paper plates and table ware
- Thanksgiving decorations
- We’d like turkeys to be completely frozen at delivery so we can ensure a safe meal for our clients on Thanksgiving!
- Wrap your turkey in a grocery bag to keep condensation from spoiling other items in your box.
Thank you for being part of this holiday mission! Bring your prepared/ready-for-delivery turkey boxes to First Rockwall on the morning of either Monday, Nov. 25 or Tuesday, Nov. 26. Our youth volunteers will be on-hand to receive your basket by 7-11 AM each day.
