Thanksgiving Basket Donation Drive

for the Columbus Dream Center

Fill a basket for Thanksgiving!

We are collecting Thanksgiving Baskets for the Columbus Dream Center to help provide Thanksgiving meals to those in need!

This year they will again be providing meals for struggling families with a Thanksgiving Basket (in addition to providing meals for the homeless). The Dream Center has requested our help in providing specific items to fill each basket.
 
This is a great opportunity for individuals, families and groups to “donate a basket!"

Donation Deadline: Wednesday, November 20

(Baskets will be delivered to the Dream Center on November 22.)

IMPORTANT NOTE:
