ThankSending makes a visible impact on our community by providing all the ingredients for a Thanksgiving dinner (meal kit) to people in need, no strings attached.

This year we are partnering with Bleyl Middle School, The Brautigam Center, Black Elementary, and several other community partners to serve those in our community.

How does this work?

  • Download the shopping list (or pick one up in the lobby on Sundays) and bring non-perishable food items to the lobby between October 29 and November 12.

AND/OR

  • Donate to the “No Strings Attached” option at TheMET.Church/give to help with the purchase of turkeys and supplies. We recommend $20 or more, but everything helps!

Serve Opportunities:

We will assemble the meal kits on Wednesday night, November 15 and distribute the meal kits to the registered recipients on Thursday, November 16 from 5:00pm – 7:00pm.  Sign up to serve!
