Annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive Reminder

From the Thanksgiving Basket Committee: There’s still time to join in the fun and build a Thanksgiving Basket for a local WIC family (families with young children under five years of age) in Keene and the local communities.

Last year we collected a record 156 baskets — this year our goal is to maintain that record from the KSC campus community. We can not have too many baskets —there are so many families in need. As of September 8, over 2000 requests for Thanksgiving Baskets have been received by local organizations. Please consider encouraging co-workers in your office/area/building, organization or residence hall to put together Thanksgiving Baskets for this holiday season.

Collection of Thanksgiving Baskets will be on Monday, November 24, in the West Dining Area of the Young Student Center, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Suggested menu items and sign up sheets have already been sent. If you prefer, a minimum cash equivalent of $50.00 to a Thanksgiving Basket can be given to Sue Freitas, Business Office — Fiske Annex. Please make checks payable to “KSC — Thanksgiving Basket.”

Stop by the West Dining Area of the Student Center on Tuesday, November 25 (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) to see what an impact these baskets will have on the community. For more information, contact Human Resources at 8-2406. Thank you, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
