Brookhaven’s Youth Bureau INTERFACE Program’s Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive will run from October 14 to November 13. Last year’s Thanksgiving Food Drive provided hearty Thanksgiving meals to 956 families in Brookhaven. Without the generous donations received during the drive, this would not have been possible.
Suggested food items for donations include all non-perishables, including, but not limited to: canned soups, canned cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, stuffing mix, instant potatoes, canned sweet or white potatoes, rice, canned vegetables, jar or canned sauce, macaroni, canned fruit, pudding, jello, cookie mix, cake mix, and juice.
Due to refrigeration requirements, the Town cannot accept frozen turkeys. However, residents can donate $10 gift cards from local supermarkets, enabling families to purchase turkeys.
