Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving dinner distribution with all the trimmings  represents the Guild’s largest collaborative effort of the year. Donations of food come from local churches, schools, businesses, and neighborhood collections. Our dedicated  Volunteers include staff from local corporations and the City of Trenton, as well as our care receivers, who wish to give something back to the community. We accept referrals from various local nonprofits, such as Head Start and Catholic Charities. Over 30% of families receiving our Thanksgiving food are referred by the NJ Department of Children and Families Division of Child Protection & Permanency and Mercer County Board of Social Services.
