Thanksgiving Baskets

Buy groceries to fill a Thanksgiving food basket for a family in need, and bring your food to Calvary Church’s Roseville Campus for immediate distribution to people in our congregation and at area inner-city churches. Drivers will distribute the baskets the same evening.

Please complete the registration form below to let us know you plan to fill a basket!

Shopping Suggestions

Bring the grocery items listed at right in a heavy corrugate box with handles (available at Cub Foods). Try to avoid substitutions. If unavoidable, substitute an item that is easy to prepare. For instance, buy a fresh pie and freeze rather than ingredients for a pie. Purchase stuffing that can be prepared on the stove. Gravy can be in cans, jars, or a dry mix.
