BUILD-A-BOX

Providing Thanksgiving meals to thousands of disadvantaged families in the Bay Area since 1987

Our MISSION

Please help us ensure that families in our area do not go without a Thanksgiving meal. On the Monday before Thanksgiving, we assemble and deliver boxes full of the ingredients necessary for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Our goal is to deliver 500-600 boxes to less fortunate families in the Bay Area. Our boxes will feed thousands of people on Thanksgiving Day!
