UPDATE: Residents of Luzerne and Wyoming Counties have until Friday, November 10, 2023, at 5 PM to register for a free Thanksgiving meal through the Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO). This urgent announcement is crucial for families facing financial difficulties this holiday season who need support.
The annual Thanksgiving Project, now in its 46th year, aims to provide food assistance to approximately 9,000 families in need. Each meal box contains all the essential ingredients for a complete holiday dinner, including turkey, stuffing, potatoes, fresh produce, and even pumpkin for pie.
CEO’s executive director, Jennifer Warabak, emphasized the project’s significance, stating,
“This project is about more than food — it’s about community and compassion. We want to make sure that every family who needs assistance has the opportunity to sign up before registration closes on Friday.”
To register for a Thanksgiving meal, residents can visit ceopeoplehelpingpeople.org or call 570-825-0968 or 570-208-7017 during business hours. The deadline is fast approaching, and officials are urging those in need to act immediately to secure their meal box.
In addition to food distribution, CEO is also seeking volunteers and community partners to help with packing and distributing these meal boxes. If you are interested in making a difference this holiday season, visit the same website to learn more about volunteering opportunities.
The Thanksgiving Project serves as a vital resource for families struggling during this festive time. With registration ending soon, the message is clear: don’t miss out on this opportunity to ensure your family has a proper holiday meal.
