Now more than ever, our community matters.  Join us in preparing Thanksgiving dinner packages that will bring warmth and comfort to those in need across Long Island — and hear how UJA is making a real impact in the fight against poverty.
 
You’ll have the opportunity to choose between shopping for the items yourself or having UJA shop for you. 


Here’s how you can make a difference:

  • Register and have UJA purchase the items for you — Attend the program in person and assemble a package.

    OR

    Register and YOU purchase the items
    — Purchase one of every item from the list below. All food items must be KOSHER and nonperishable. Bring the items with you to our program on November 11 to assemble and complete your package.   
    List: 1 can of cranberry sauce, 1 can of yams, 1 can of corn, 1 can of green beans, a 1-lb. box of rice, 1 jar instant coffee, 1 dessert (a package of cookies or 1 pareve dessert (a package of cookies or a packaged cake), 1 package or can of gravy, 1 package of stuffing (please note: Stove Top stuffing is not kosher), 1 bottle of dish soap, 2 sponges, 1 individually wrapped roll of paper towels, 1 individually wrapped package of napkins (100-250 count).

  • Deliver a Package (Optional)
    Take your family with you to personally deliver your Thanksgiving package. A limited number of delivery opportunities will be available. R.S.V.P. by Tuesday, November 4, if you would like to make a delivery.  

  • Donate a Gift Card    
    We’ll be putting a $25 gift card in each package so people in need can complete their Thanksgiving meal. Whether or not you can attend, you can still show your support by donating. Donate now below!

If more than one person in your family would like to assemble a package, please adjust the “Quantity” in the dropdown when registering to reflect the number of bags your family would like to pack at the event. This ensures that each person gets a bag to assemble.
