Give Thanks. Give Back! Thanksgiving Baskets for Seniors

Make giving back part of your Thanksgiving tradition. Each year, JCares Community Action brings our community together to provide holiday meal baskets for local seniors ages 60+. It’s a tradition of neighbors helping neighbors and sharing the warmth of the season. See the smiles our community helped bring to seniors last Thanksgiving! Join us in continuing this meaningful tradition.

Your $36 donation provides one complete Thanksgiving basket for a local senior.
Donations accepted through Nov. 10.
