2025 Thanksgiving Basket Program
This year marks 17 years of Bridges of Hope connecting families in need with Thanksgiving Basket Sponsors in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Explore below how you can sponsor or receive a basket this Thanksgiving season.
SPONSOR A BASKET
Meal sponsors are paired with one or more families (you decide). They then purchase and deliver the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal. Sponsors can be individuals, families, businesses, service clubs, church groups, and more! We will start accepting sponsors in October - check back here for the registration form. We will work to pair sponsors with families in need and your match will be emailed to you no later than November 17th with further information.
If you have questions about the process, call Bridges of Hope or email Tedi for more information.
RECEIVE A BASKET
The holidays can be a time of joy and also a financial strain. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Thanksgiving Basket Program. This initiative connects families with children ages 0-17, who may need assistance covering the cost of a traditional Thanksgiving meal, with generous sponsors who want to provide the ingredients for that meal. To learn more about whether you qualify, simply reach out to your child's school, a social worker, or a community provider like a minister or mental health professional. They can help you get connected with this wonderful opportunity.
