Giving Thanks With Those Who Matter Most

We often think of holidays like Thanksgiving as a way to celebrate family bonds. However, we don’t always realize that it’s an important opportunity to solidify and support those bonds as well.

Families are the foundation of every community, and this year we want to make sure that families in south Atlanta can celebrate Thanksgiving at home.

We will be collecting bagged donations of holiday staples that families can prepare at home. Each bag should have the following items:

  • 2 Cans of String Beans (English cut)

  • 2 Cans of Corn

  • 2 Cans of Peas

  • 1 Can of Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 Large Bag of Stuffing

  • 1 Box of Brownie Mix

  • 1 Bag of Rice (1 lb.)

  • 2 Boxes of Cornbread / Muffin Mix

With your help, we’re hoping to assemble 200 of these bags for our neighbors in need.

To donate, please place the above ingredients inside of a large, reusable canvas bag with handles. Bags may be dropped off at Emmaus House from November 14-21, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 AM-noon. We will plan on distributing them on November 22.

We have so much to be thankful for. Be part of the reason someone else gets to celebrate this holiday season.
