Share the Spirit of Giving!

As the holiday season approaches, our hearts are filled with gratitude, kindness, and the joy of giving. At the St. Thomas Parish Food Pantry, our mission is to ensure that no family goes without a warm, festive meal — especially during Thanksgiving.

For many, a Thanksgiving meal is more than just food; it’s a celebration of family, tradition, and community. This year, with your support, we aim to bring hope and happiness to local families in need by providing turkeys, fresh produce, canned goods, and more ensuring everyone can enjoy this cherished holiday together.

Celebrating Generosity in Action

Last Thanksgiving Season, your compassion made an incredible impact:

  • St. Thomas Food Pantry served 129 families with 120 turkeys and over 10,000 lbs of food in Braxton County.
  • Risen Lord Food Pantry in Clay (our mission church) reached 349 families, distributing 300 turkeys, more than 14,000 lbs of food, plus winter coats and blankets.

Thanks to all our benefactors and volunteers, hundreds of families experienced Thanksgiving filled with hope, gratitude, and the warmth of a shared meal.

NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

You Can Make a Difference This Thanksgiving

DONATE NOW TO A FAMILY IN NEED

Your gift can have a lasting impact.
Any amount brings hope and nourishment to those who need it most. 

$15 provides a Thanksgiving turkey for a family.
$40 provides a full Thanksgiving meal for a family.

Every donation strengthens our community of compassion and faith. Rest assured, our benefactors are lovingly remembered during every food distribution — and in our prayers at every Thursday Mass.

God is good ... all the time. All the time, God is good.
