at First Grace United Methodist Church

3401 Canal Street

2:30 - 6:30 PM

The Thanksgiving Basket Project is a joint venture with the Rotary Club of New Orleans, First Grace United Methodist Church and the Warren Easton Interact Club.  Participants will pack and distribute baskets to 150 needy families in the New Orleans area.  

Each basket is designed to help feed a family for the week of Thanksgiving, especially considering that children will be out of school during that time.

This year’s event distribution will take place on Thursday, November 19th at First Grace.  The sorting and packing of food items will take place from 2:30 – 4:30 PM.  The distribution of baskets to recipients will be from 4:30 – 6:30 PM.

**It is recommended that volunteers bring a pair of work gloves.

**As has been the case for the past years, we will not be asking for physical food donations from our membership.  Monetary donations will be appreciated.  Link to Donate

Yours in the Spirit of Rotary,
