KSC’s 24th Annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive

From Cheryl Martin, Office of the President: It is time for the Annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive, and once again, we are asking you to help by encouraging your office/area/building/ organization or residence hall co-workers to put together Thanksgiving baskets for this holiday season. All KSC contributions are distributed to WIC families (families with young children under five years of age) in Keene and the local communities.

Last year we collected a record 158 baskets from all corners of our campus community! This year our goal is to continue with the spirit of making a difference by helping our friends and neighbors. We need your help. We cannot have too many baskets - there are so many families in need. As of October 23, over 1,700 requests for Thanksgiving baskets were received by local organizations, and that number is expected to increase. New this year, we will have donation boxes set up in the Gym, Library, Science Center, and Student Center until the day of the drive for gently used winter outerwear and additional last-minute food items to be donated to the Community Kitchen.

Collection of Thanksgiving baskets will be on Monday, November 23, in the West Dining Area of the Young Student Center, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, please contact Human Resources at 8-2406.
