Help the Goodman Community Center give out 2,500 Thanksgiving Baskets to families in need. Each basket contains everything needed to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner - from turkey and sides to pumpkin pie (right down to the roasting pan and pie tin). But we can’t do it without a tremendous amount of community support - including volunteers!
Greet shoppers at local grocery stores and hand out our Thanksgiving wish list. Shoppers can purchase items for Thanksgiving Baskets in the store and drop them off with you! This is a great opportunity to help spread the work about the Thanksgiving Basket program and ensure we have enough food to provide baskets to 2500 families!
Various shifts are available and as little as three hours!

Description
The Goodman Community Center is not your average community center. As I get to talking with people about Goodman, they inevitably end up surprised. They’re surprised by how many programs and resources we offer, how beautiful our facilities are, or how many people we serve. Every year more than 30,000 people use the Center - some who come to one event, others who are very familiar faces here.
Thanks to our generous community, we just built and moved into a second beautiful facility across the street, the Brassworks building. We’re now reconfiguring and refreshing the Center’s first home on Waubesa Street, the Ironworks building. During this past ten years, we’ve nearly doubled in size.
Our staff are committed to learning and continually improving, too. That’s why each program uses a variety of tools to measure impacts for both the program overall, and for each individual participant. We use that data to constantly fine-tune what we do - and how we do it.
We’re glad Goodman is one of many organizations in the Madison area who are pouring themselves into making our community great - for us all. We hope you’ll join us. Because we know that every good thing that happens here is made possible by people like you.
