Holiday Food Baskets
For the holiday food baskets, individuals and groups may provide the entire family basket or any part of the meal or other canned food items.
The Food Pantry will get them to the appropriate families. Your donations can be dropped off at Legacy Drug Store in Wright City or the Church of the Nazarene in Wright City. The Food Pantry will pick up donations if needed.
Thanksgiving food baskets need: one 10-12 pound turkey, one box stuffing, canned gravy, two cans green beans, two cans corn, 12 dinner rolls, one pound butter or margarine, canned cranberry sauce, potatoes and pie.
Christmas breakfast basket needs pancake mix, syrup and sausage.
The Christmas dinner basket needs ham, potatoes, two cans corn, two cans green beans, 12 dinner rolls, canned gravy, canned cranberry sauce, one pound butter or margarine, pie; a Christmas stocking for each child stuffed with a packet of hot cocoa, a candy cane; your choice of gloves, socks or hat and a small toy such as cards, playdough, car, etc.
Donations for Thanksgiving meals are due by Nov. 11. Donations for Christmas meals begin Nov. 26 and are due by Dec. 9.
For those who prefer to donate money, the Food Pantry will do the shopping with your donation. The cost is about $50 per basket. Checks should be made out to Wright City Community Food Pantry and include a holiday food drive memo. They should be mailed to: Wright City Community Food Pantry; 521 W. Service Road N.; Wright City, MO 63390.
Adopt-A-Family
Underserved families in Wright City want their children’s Christmases to be special. They want gifts under the tree, just like most kids.
To help make that happen, the Food Pantry and Wright City Parents as Teachers have organized an Adopt-A-Family program for several Wright City families in need. Individuals or groups may sign up to purchase items from the family’s wish list to give them a brighter holiday.
You can also give a financial gift and the organizers will do the shopping.
Purchases are due to Parents as Teacher director, Kamie Williams by Dec. 7 at the Wright City Middle School. Contact her at 314-496-5525 or kamie.williams@wrightcity.k12.mo.us.
