Happiest GALA Hour Thanksgiving Foodbank Event

September 26 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

One of the questions I’m often asked in the “Pre-Gala” season is, “Why don’t you have any fun events like happy hours?” Well, we listened… sort of! While we won’t be meeting in a bar for a true “Happy Hour,” we’ve come up with something even better!

Join us for our FREE Happiest GALA Hour, where we’ll kick off our annual Thanksgiving Foodbank Turkey Dinner food box drive. This event is open to everyone, and it’s a great chance to enjoy amazing food, win door prizes, and secure your 3rd Annual Gala Ticket—all while making a positive impact in the community.

Here’s how you can participate:

  1. Bring Items for our Thanksgiving Boxes: Below is a list of items we need for our food boxes. Please shop thoughtfully and stick to the list to ensure every family gets the same, complete meal.
  2. Support Our Turkey Fund: At the event, there will be envelopes available if you wish to contribute toward purchasing turkeys to go along with the food boxes.

Thanksgiving Box Item List:

  • 1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans of Green Beans
  • 1 (6 oz) can of French Fried Onions
  • 4 cans of Corn
  • 1 (26 oz) box of Instant Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 boxes of Stuffing Mix
  • 2 packets of Turkey Gravy Mix
  • 1 (40 oz) or 2 (20 oz) cans of Yams
  • 1 package of Mini Marshmallows

Important Reminder: To avoid distribution issues, please follow the list closely and avoid adding any extra items.

Best of all, this is a FREE event! It’s our way of bringing the community together to celebrate the season of giving, and to get ready for our big Gala. Everyone who purchases a Gala ticket at the event will also receive a special gift, so don’t miss out!

Thank you for your generosity and for helping make this season brighter for families in need. We look forward to celebrating with you!
