Tune in on Fox17: Share more than a meal this Thanksgiving!

,

Tune in on the FOX 17 Morning Mix to hear Scott Rumpsa, Action House CEO, share about our work to build a stronger, healthier community!

For over 50 years, we've expanded our efforts during the Thanksgiving season to take pressure off of families - increasing access to the healthy food, hope, and connection they need to find moments of holiday joy. This year, we're expecting 1,900+ families to turn to us for support. We're ready to provide the warm welcome, food, and resource connection they need to more forward - but we need your help to do it! Partner with us to share more than a meal this Thanksgiving:

- Give a financial gift: Every $37 donation provides healthy Thanksgiving groceries for a family in our community! Donate online at communityactionhouse.org/morethanameal.

- Host a donation drive or collect items with your family: Help stock-the-shelves at Food Club to ensure our neighbors find the food they need. Learn more at communityactionhouse.org/stocktheshelves!
