2024 MDI Thanksgiving Project – How to Donate and How to Receive a Turkey Box [INFO]

Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 28th, and this year with the rising price of food, electricity, oil, gasoline, and really everything, more and more of our friends and neighbors are going to need some help.

If your family could use some help with Thanksgiving this year, please sign up by completing the Thanksgiving Food Baskets 2024 Form. The form should be available at the Bar Harbor Food Pantry, Open Table MDI, the Bar Harbor Congregational Church and other locations. You can also find it online HERE

If you have questions you can call Debbie at 207-650-7723 or email her HERE

There is no financial test to apply. Families will receive the food needed to make a great Thanksgiving meal: Turkey (or chicken for families of 1-2 people) stuffing, gravy, fresh potatoes and carrots, cranberry sauce and dessert, along with other items to make your day special. Deadline for applications is November 19th. Food will be ready for pick-up or delivery on Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th..

If you are fortunate enough to be in a position of helping, here's how you can volunteer and help!
