Jesus said,

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger, and you invited me in.’

‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

From Matthew 25:31-40

Thanksgiving Baskets Project 2025

We are hosting our annual Thanksgiving Basket project! We will serve the Vinings area by providing groceries to those experiencing food insecurity. We need lots of hands to make this possible! As with previous years, we work closely with our local school social workers to support those in need. Our goal is to meet or do greater than last year's event which saw 35 families served. This year, we will see an increase in need as our society deals with shut-downs, furloughs, and other resources which have been cut, reduced, or paused. It is not okay for people to go hungry.

Please read the opportunities for serving below and click the link at the bottom of the post to sign-up to serve!

Donate toward our Thanksgiving Baskets Project by sponsoring one or more baskets @ $40 each, buying items needed for the basket, or any other monetary donation. We will also need help packing boxes and then delivering to area schools. Deadline is November 16, 2025. Click here to donate with PayPal.

Thank you for your willingness to to serve our community! It is a true joy to provide for this need during Thanksgiving week.

All donations, food and monetary, are due on Sunday, November 16th. This will give us the opportunity to shop for needed items and make sure we have everything.

We will gather in Hodge Hall to pack our items for distribution. All food items will be packed in either a cardboard box or a reusable grocery bag. This will take place during the Wednesday Bible Study time.

After the baskets are packed, we ask for members of our congregation to help deliver baskets to our local schools. The three schools are Teasley Elementary School, Argyle Elementary School, and Campbell Middle School.
