Thanksgiving Food Drives at Hyvee

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Goodman Community Center

Help reach our goal of giving out 3,600 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 - Food drives at local grocery stores are a HUGE part of how we get enough food to fill every basket!

Volunteers will be posted at the main door to the store, will hand out shopping lists, and encourage shoppers to purchase items to donate to our Thanksgiving Basket drive. This is a great opportunity for families with kids of all ages, groups, and people who are outgoing, love talking to new people, and talking about Thanksgiving Baskets!

Help spread the word about the Thanksgiving Basket program and ensure we have enough food for 3600 families! Each shift can accommodate 5 people.

Friday (November 3rd): 3pm-5pm, 5pm-7pm.

Saturday (November 4th): 10am-12pm, 12-2pm.

Sunday (November 5th): 12pm-2pm, 2pm-4pm.

Must be able to stand for the entire shift. Volunteers must be outgoing and feel comfortable speaking with strangers and asking for donations of food and money.

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.
