Thanksgiving Meal Support

This Thanksgiving, we have an exciting opportunity to be the church in a simple but powerful way — by helping local families who wouldn’t otherwise have a Thanksgiving meal. We’re identifying families in need and we want to come together as Restore Church to provide complete Thanksgiving meal boxes — filled with love, good food, and hope! 

 
You can be part of this in 3 ways:
 

1. Give Toward a Meal.

A $40 donation covers one full meal for a family of 4–6. You can give by going here (scroll down to the different payment methods we accept, choose whatever payment method is preferred, and just write “Thanksgiving”  in the memo as you make a payment to Restore Church). 

2. Shop for Items. 

Pick up items from our shopping list (below) and bring them to our home on Saturday, November 22nd at 10am where we’re having a Packing Party to assemble the boxes, write encouraging cards, and pray over the families who will receive them. 

Thanksgiving Meal Shopping List Each box feeds about 4–6 people. If you want to customize, you can choose to provide either fresh or shelf-stable items — here’s a typical version that’s practical, easy to store, and still feels special.

         Meal Box Contents

• 1 frozen turkey (10–12 lb) or grocery gift card ($25)
• 1 box instant mashed potatoes (family size)
• 1 jar turkey gravy (or packet mix) 
• 1 box stuffing mix
• 2 cans of vegetables (corn, green beans, etc.)
• 1 can yams or sweet potatoes
• 1 can cranberry sauce
• 1 ready-to-bake pie or pie crust + canned filling
• Cornbread mix or frozen bread rolls

3. Help Assemble and Distribute the Meal Boxes
Another meaningful way to be involved is by joining us to assemble and distribute the Thanksgiving Meal Boxes. We’ll be gathering on Saturday, November 22nd from 10am–12pm to pack the boxes and prepare them for families. If you plan to come, simply sign up below and we’ll send you the address and all the details. We’d love to have you be part of this!
