Families are facing food insecurity now more than ever. This year, Light of Life will provide over 20,000 meals to individuals who would otherwise go without a Thanksgiving dinner, making this the biggest holiday outreach to date. Thank you to all of the incredible community members and donors who helped make this possible for our neighbors in need.
Since 1952, thousands of families and individuals have been impacted by receiving a Thanksgiving meal through Light of Life.
