Thanksgiving for All 2009

Thanksgiving for All is a series of events and food drives hosted and sponsored by local civic and religious organizations, charitable foundations, businesses, media and supermarkets which help Connecticut Food Bank make Thanksgiving special for thousands of our neighbors in danger of going without a holiday meal.

After these events have concluded on Thanksgiving week, our member programs are able to pick up the makings of Thanksgiving dinner to serve to people in need. In 2008, "Thanksgiving for All" collected 25,084 turkeys and 513,000 pounds of trimmings – enough for more than 587,000 meals for those in need during the holiday season.
