A Heartfelt Thank You From Shawna’s Basket Brigade
As this year’s Shawna’s Basket Brigade comes to a close, we are truly overwhelmed by the love, generosity, and community spirit that poured into this mission. Every basket, every donation, every share, and every act of kindness helped families who otherwise would not have had a Thanksgiving meal.
This year, thanks to each and every one of you, records were broken within so many of our groups & supporters. We estimate that over 3,000 people will be able to sit down to a Thanksgiving dinner — children, seniors, veterans, and families who needed a little extra love and support. What an unbelievable gift.

And to EVERY donor — whether you made 1 basket or 100 — thank you.
Your generosity doesn’t just fill food items into a bin —
it fills hearts, restores hope, and reminds families that they are seen, valued, and supported.
This brigade works year after year because of you — your compassion, your teamwork, your willingness to show up for others.
Because of you, over 3,000 people will share a Thanksgiving meal.
What an incredible, beautiful impact.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.
