Food is Health. And Health is Everything.
Thanksgiving should be a time to gather and celebrate with the people who matter most, but for families facing financial challenges, putting a holiday meal on the table can be difficult.
At Share Ourselves, we understand the vital role food plays in our community’s well-being. While we distribute over 400 bags of groceries daily to patients stretching their food budgets, we ramp up our efforts for the holidays. With the support of donors, volunteers, and community partners, our Thanksgiving Food Distribution program goes the extra mile to provide over 1,000 bags of Thanksgiving meal supplies and turkeys to local families experiencing food insecurity.
This program ensures our neighbors can enjoy a holiday meal with dignity. Your valued donation directly helps secure the food and supplies needed to fill local tables with gratitude this festive season.

Help Put Thanksgiving on the Table
A Thanksgiving meal is about more than food. It’s a chance to gather around the table, share a tradition, and feel connected to community.
Your support helps Share Ourselves provide Thanksgiving meal supplies to local individuals and families who may otherwise struggle to afford a holiday meal.
There are many ways to help: donate, host a food drive, give a gift card, or shop our Amazon Wishlist. Every contribution helps make the holiday a little brighter for our neighbors.
