Each year, our community comes together to make Thanksgiving a little brighter for families who need a helping hand. With the help of our school district, I receive a list of families who could use some extra support in the Lynden School District, and we pack and deliver complete Thanksgiving meals, including turkey, sides, desserts, everything needed for a warm holiday dinner.

Last year, thanks to your incredible generosity, we delivered 67 full meals to families right here in our community. ❤️

This year, the need has risen to 138 families in need and we’d love your help to be able to purchase a meal for every family! Thank you already to Ally Ubben and Lena Shammel (Evergreen Home Loans), Mindy Peters-Virgin, and Salt of the Earth Massage for your generous donations.

Next week, if you show your proof of donation at the drive-through at Muddy Waters Coffee Co in Lynden you'll get $1 off the coffee of your choice! Thank you Muddy Waters!!!

Just $60 covers a full Thanksgiving meal for one family. Every dollar donated goes directly toward groceries, just neighbors helping neighbors.

You can donate easily through Venmo at @Tracie-Gulit - https://venmo.com/u/Tracie-Gulit
Even a small contribution makes a big difference!

Together, we can make sure every family in our community has a reason to give thanks this season. 🧡
