The Holiday Giving Network was formed to match congregations, individuals, groups, or businesses who can provide food baskets with persons who need extra food for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our goal is to work together so that more families will be served.
1. Complete the Provider Form.
2. The pantry will contact you with recipients name and address information, a suggested food list, and an instruction sheet.
3. Consider giving a holiday meal at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Often we have a shortage of providers at Christmas. Please indicate your holiday choices on the Provider Form.

Families in need-
If you know someone who might benefit from receiving a Holiday Food Basket encourage that person to sign up at their Pantry Resource Center as soon as possible. Applications are taken between October 1 - November 9 for Thanksgiving baskets and between October 1- November 30 for Christmas baskets on a first come, first served basis.
Toys
It is NOT necessary for your group to provide toys as well as a food basket to the family. All families with children who sign up at the Pantries for the HGN program will also be registered to receive toys from Toys for Tots or The Salvation Army.
Thank you for your gift of a holiday food basket. Over 7,000 families were provided with a food basket last year. Call or mail in your request for names soon!
Volunteers
are also needed to help at sign-up sites and with the matching process. If you can help, call ACCESS at (616) 774-2175.
