Live Thankfully

Local Live Thankfully food drives are usually conducted in the first 3 weeks of November. Live Thankfully volunteers pick up these heavy boxes of food weekly, transfer them to the Live Thankfully storage unit, and organize them for a Live Thankfully packaging party. These food drives collect enough food to fill 3,000 bags of groceries and donate another 5,000 plus food items to local area food banks.
