Looking for an opportunity to give back during the Thanksgiving season? You don’t have to look any further than Carruthers Hall!
This year, UVAFinance will partner with churches and other organizations around the Charlottesville area to distribute Thanksgiving baskets to needy families. Our goal is to collect food and monetary donations for as many as ten baskets (each basket feeds a family of 4-6 members).
Collection boxes are currently located around Carruthers and O’Neil Hall. All donations must be received by Wednesday, November 16.
Boxes are located in the Comptroller’s area (middle of the 2ndfloor), OSP, PSDS, and SFS.
Each basket is made up of the following items, which you can donate:
· Cash donations to purchase a 12-14 lb. turkey (see Nicole Ferretti or Stacey Rittenhouse to donate cash)
· 2 cans of yams
· 2 cans of green beans· 5 lb bag of potatoes
· Dozen dinner rolls
· 2 jars of turkey gravy
· 2 boxes of macaroni
· 2 boxes of stuffing
· 1 canned milk
· Box of brown sugar
· Box of granulated sugar
· Can of cranberry sauce
· Box of cake mix
· Container of frosting
Each donation box will have a checklist to make it easy to see what is still needed.
All donations are greatly appreciated!
Contact NicoleFerretti with questions or concerns.
Please feel free to share other opportunities in your community for giving back this Thanksgiving!
