Thanksgiving Drive

Thanksgiving is meant for food, celebration, and laughter. Help Rise make sure all families in our community enjoy the holiday they deserve. Please donate food or money to help make this possible. Our drive runs from 10/1 to 11/24. Contact Rise directly if you’d like to start a food drive in your office.

Getting your food drive started is easy.

• Choose your start and end dates for your food drive. We recommend at least two weeks.
• Set up a sturdy collection bin.
• Spread the word to your neighbor! Encourage others to participate by handing out bags to fill with food and return to the collection bin.
• Host a “Thanksgiving Food Drive”

Continue your support after the food drive!

Start an online fundraiser and encourage those who can’t donate food to make a monetary donation instead.

Each $1 raised = 5 meals.

Food store gift cards and checks can be mailed to Rise, P.O. Box 88, Hightstown, NJ 08520.
