Moments we prayed for 🤎 we have OFFICIALLY reached our 2026 goal for our annual Thanksgiving event! Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we are proud to announce that we will be providing (450) take-home meals to local families this holiday season. Each meal includes a quarter ham, two cans of green beans, two cans of corn, and a box of macaroni and cheese.
This accomplishment would not be possible without our incredible sponsors and partners. A massive thank you to:
• Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline
• Vanguard
•
Every single individual who reached out, donated, and volunteered to help.
We are also thrilled to share several exciting updates and collaborations for this year's event:
🚎 Free Trolley Rides: City of Owensboro has generously granted us permission to run the trolley for the event. The trolley will pick up at Kendall Perkins Park, proceed to the Pitino Shelter, and service the surrounding areas.
• 🧥 Coat Drive: We are partnering with Haley McGinnis Funeral Home to host a coat drive, ensuring everyone stays warm this winter.
• 🎈 Family Fun & Entertainment: Enjoy professional balloon creations by the talented Jimmy Wathen, Up Vibe Entertainment, LLC, possibly Owensboro Symphony Orchestra and exciting prize 🎟️ drawings!
• ⛳️ Special Guests: Holes to Go Owensboro
• 👕 Giveaways & Volunteers: We will have free Beverly's Hearty Slice t-shirts available (various sizes) and are proud to have our local high school sports teams volunteering their time to help run the event!
Thank you for standing with us to make a difference in our community. We look forward to celebrating a season of gratitude with you all!
