Thanksgiving Food Drive

Help a neighbor gather around a full table!

Together, we can help families in Hightstown, East Windsor, and nearby communities enjoy a Thanksgiving meal filled with comfort, connection, and holiday favorites.

Make a donation, organize a food drive, or give your time. Every contribution helps bring our community together.

Make a donation. We’ll do the shopping.

A financial gift helps Rise purchase the food families need and fill gaps in donated supplies. A gift of $75 can help provide a Thanksgiving meal for a local family.

Thanksgiving favorites: Turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and chicken or turkey broth.
Fresh vegetables: Potatoes, yams, carrots, onions, and squash.
