Help Our Neighbors Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

As we approach the season of gratitude, we are reminded of the importance of community and support. This Thanksgiving, Rising Ground is once again organizing a food drive to help NYC families in need and we would love your support.

With increasing food costs, many families will struggle to provide a festive meal. Our goal is to collect non-perishable food items, such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and holiday staples like stuffing and cranberry sauce. We also distribute frozen turkeys directly to families at community events in the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn.

We invite you to join us in spreading kindness and ensuring that everyone can enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal. Here are ways you can contribute:

1. Organize a group/corporate food drive of non-perishable goods.

For more information about organizing a group or corporate food drive, or to donate bulk frozen turkeys (min. 20), please contact Sharon Pyle by email at [email protected] or by phone at 212-437-3551. Rising Ground can arrange pick-up of your donated items.

2. Make a monetary donation.

Donations made through our website to the Thanksgiving Food Drive will be used to help us purchase necessary items, including additional frozen turkeys, to ensure we can help as many families as possible.

Together, we can make this Thanksgiving a time of abundance for all members of our community!
