The holiday season is nearing, and there are many ways you, your coworkers, friends and family can help local families celebrate. United Way of Northeast Florida and our partners are holding our annual Holiday Food & Gift Drive from Oct. 15 through Dec. 11.
Opportunities to give back include:
Thanksgiving Food Drive: Host a food drive to collect specific items and provide a complete dinner to a family in need.
Holiday Gift Drive: Adopt a family by providing requested toys and food items.
Many families need your support, especially during the holiday season when our neighbors in need cannot afford family gatherings and gift-giving. These families are identified through our Full Service Schools network as experiencing extraordinary hardships.
Thanksgiving food drive items to be delivered on or before Nov. 7. Holiday gift drive items to be delivered on or before Dec. 11. This is to ensure items get to families in time.
Thank you for helping make a local family’s holiday season brighter.
