Thanksgiving baskets for our community
Dear Amador Familes,
Although it’s only October, it is, as the retailers continually remind us, not too early to plan for the holidays.
The Amador PTSA has begun a tradition of providing holiday cheer for members of our community – Amador families.
For Thanksgiving, PTSA would like to provide up to 15 Amador families in need with all the ingredients for a hearty Thanksgiving meal as well as additional items to make the holiday week a little brighter for them.
In order to do this, PTSA is asking our parent/student community to help us by donating items to fill Thanksgiving baskets.
- Canned goods: corn, green beans, yams, chicken broth, cranberry sauce, tuna, fruits, soups, prepared meals (e.g. ravioli, pork & beans), milk
- Boxed goods: instant mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, beans, crackers, cereals (hot, cold and instant)
- Produce: potatoes, onions
- Other food items: peanut butter, jelly, cereal bars, dried milk, dried fruit, sugar, flour, salt, packaged snacks (e.g. one serve pudding or fuit cups)
- Grocery Store Gift Certificates: to be used by the families for the Thanksgiving main course (turkey, chicken, etc.) Note: Please give gift certificates to the Amador receptionist rather than placing them in the donation baskets
Due to space limitations, we cannot accept donations of perishable items or items requiring refrigeration.
All donations will be distributed the Friday before the Thanksgiving break.
In previous years, with your help, Amador PTSA was able to make the Thanksgiving holiday a happier one for many families. The generosity of our Amador community was heartwarming and a wonderful example of community outreach to our students.
Please help us again make Thanksgiving a holiday where all our Amador families can give thanks.
Your generosity and support are always appreciated, and a very Happy, Healthy Thanksgiving to all of you.
