Putnam CAP Seeks Donations for Thanksgiving Food Baskets

PUTNAM COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP

Thanksgiving Food Baskets

Putnam Community Action Partnership provides Thanksgiving Food Baskets to the low income residents of Putnam County. Last year, Putnam CAP distributed over 400 baskets to these struggling families.

Donations and volunteers are urgently needed for this project. If you or your group would like to participate in this project, please call the CAP Office at (845) 278-8021 to register.

The distribution of baskets will take place on November 19, 20 and 21.

The Thanksgiving Food Basket can be a cardboard box wrapped with festive paper, a laundry basket, or any other similar type of container. Putnam CAP asks that the food box contain all of the items needed to make a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner as well as some additional items such as breakfast foods and food for another meal during the week.

All food baskets should include a $25 grocery store gift card for the purchase of a turkey as our freezer space is extremely limited.

Suggested Food Items for a complete basket:

Juice, Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate,

Cereal, Pancake Mix, Syrup,

Stuffing, Crackers, Cookies

Cranberry Sauce, Soup,

Yams (fresh or canned),

Potatoes, (fresh or canned),
