Once again this year we will be giving Thanksgiving food boxes to needy families at Almaden Elementary School.

Food collection starts now!

Box packing will take place on Sunday, Nov. 18, starting at noon. Sorting isn’t hard, but it does take some time! Many hands make light work, so please plan to be here and help if you can.

Boxes will be delivered to Almaden Elementary on Tuesday, Nov. 20. If you have a van or a truck, your help will be appreciated that morning!
