810 Families for Thanksgiving

We had 810 households for Thanksgiving in the Holiday Giving Project this year! A lot of people called in to say their caseworker hadn't gotten them into the database before the cutoff, so I know the number will be much higher for December. Thanks very, very much to the school guidance counselors and caseworkers who helped with the distribution of over $16,000 worth of Giant cards! We couldn't have done it without your help! Also, thanks for the help of many volunteers and friends, who turned up the days before Thanksgiving to deliver gift cards and food. In the four days before Thanksgiving, we delivered 30 boxes of food and over 70 envelopes of gift cards! Wow!
