Annual Food Drive

The 2024 annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, benefiting the Sunday Breakfast Mission, is October 20-November 3. Their goal is to distribute 2,000 food boxes to struggling families in Wilmington. There are two ways you can help:

  1. Volunteer at the Sunday Breakfast Mission to pack food boxes, distributed food boxes or serve Thanksgiving dinner.
  2. Donate non-perishable food.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES:

There are also opportunities to serve at the Sunday Breakfast Mission to support of this project. All service opportunities occur at the Sunday Breakfast Mission at 110 Poplar St, Wilmington, DE. Please note, most opportunities require volunteers to be on their feet for the duration of the volunteer time.

This is a great family service project, especially for families with older children who will be off of school during Thanksgiving week. High school students can earn service hours for volunteering.

Volunteer registration closes on Friday, November 15.
