Put Thanksgiving dinner on 2,000 family tables.

For 30 years, In Time of Need has helped families sit down to a real Thanksgiving. We do not hand out a single plate. We give each family the groceries for a complete dinner they cook in their own kitchen, across Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Goal: 2,000 families. Each circle is 20 families. Your gift fills them in.

Why we need your gift now

Turkeys and other essentials have to be pre-ordered early so they are on hand when families need them. Money that comes in this month is what lets us place those orders.

  1. You give

    Financial gifts let us place our food orders before supplies run short.

  2. We order and pack

    We build complete Thanksgiving dinners, not just a turkey.

  3. Volunteers deliver

    Volunteers bring the food to families, so a family can cook and eat together at home.
