The Center for Family Resources (CFR) is asking the community to help them reach their goal of providing 1,000 Thanks for Giving Food Boxes for 1,000 families for this year’s Thanks for Giving program. The CFR is asking the community to get involved by becoming a Smart Stuffer Packing Partner or by sponsoring or donating to this year’s “I’m Thankful For…” Giving Campaign. Celebrating its 36th year, Thanks for Giving provides everything a family needs to keep or create their own family traditions in ways that are meaningful to them. This program supports families who register directly through the CFR or who are supported by local area schools and other nonprofit partners, including Cobb Senior Services, Communities in Schools of Georgia in Marietta/Cobb and LiveSafe Resources.
“Our annual Thanks for Giving event has allowed us to feed Cobb families for more than 35 years,” said Melanie Kagan, CEO for the Center for Family Resources. “We are so grateful for the support we receive from this community and our supporters, including Genuine Parts Company, Lockheed Martin and Publix Super Markets Charities who are this year’s Presenting Sponsors.”
Smart Stuffer Packing Partners will commit to donating pre-packed family food boxes (approximately $65-$75 each) using a suggested shopping list, and deliver the completed boxes to the First Baptist Church Marietta at 148 Church St., Marietta until November 10 or to the IAM Local Lodge #7091032, Marietta, November 14-17, 2022. This event is a perfect way to invite colleagues, neighbors, family members and civic groups to participate and be involved with a great cause for the holiday season. Food boxes are distributed to families the week before Thanksgiving.
