One Meal Can Make a Difference: Join Our Thanksgiving Project 2026

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of friends, family, reflection, gratitude, and, of course, great food. This meal, which many of us expect as a normal part of the holiday season, is a luxury some families simply cannot afford.

For the 6th year, the goal of The Jarboe Foundation's 2026 Thanksgiving Project is to provide struggling Worcester area families with the holiday experience everyone deserves. There are many people in our community who need help but will never ask for it. We are asking for you to help by purchasing a single or multiple family packages that will go directly toward providing hand-delivered, complete, and ready-to-eat Thanksgiving meals.

The meal you provide is not meant to last only one day. It will also give hope and encouragement to these families and let them know that their community is happy and willing to help. Included in each package are resources to encourage the family to take action to improve their situation and pay it forward in the future.
