Our Services

Each year, the Feed A Family Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors select numerous local organizations and schools as recipients of our program. After completion of our annual fundraising events, 100% of the proceeds are used to purchase Thanksgiving dinners for families. (The minimal operating expenses of our foundation are supported by a private donor annually.)

Working together with Publix Super Markets, Inc., holiday dinners are prepared and boxed for pickup. The meals consist of a complete Thanksgiving feast including turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetables, and dessert.

With the assistance of our Boards of Directors, Committee Members, and Junior Volunteers, the dinners are loaded into vehicles and distributed to recipients. This community effort allows families to enjoy the fundamental stronghold of a national American holiday.

Testimonials

“We are an elderly couple on a fixed income. You made our day since we never would have had such a feast!”

“You really made this Thanksgiving for us. I am very thankful that we were chosen to receive this huge blessing. Just when we were wondering what we would do, you helped us. The situation that our family is in right now has been very hard and what you did was bring us hope and joy.”

“We are a family of 12 that adopted children into our family. Unfortunately, my husband was recently laid off from his job of 15 years. These meals made an uplifting difference in our lives.”

“I am a mom to three kids and was recently laid off from my job. I would never ask for help, but when a Thanksgiving dinner was carried in, I burst into tears. I never expected such kindness from strangers.”

“I am a single mom and wanted to celebrate with something other than tuna fish and mac & cheese. I was positively delighted by the dinner!”

“We take one day at a time. I am a widowed grandmother bringing up grandchildren, one with leukemia. I work a full time job and try to do it all alone but times do really get tough so your meal helped our family out this year. May God bless you.”
