This Thanksgiving we are more thankful than ever to once again be able to offer a "Pay What You Can Afford" Thanksgiving meal. The last few years have been hard on many. This year with SNAP benefits being taken away from nearly 2 million people in Illinois - and the chaos and terror ICE is continuing to cause throughout Chicagoland - this is one small way to give back and make sure everyone has access to a delicious holiday meal.

It can be uncomfortable to ask for a discount or something for free. We promise this is not some ego driven, performative, virtue signaling stunt. We mean it. Please ask for what you need - there is no shame and no judgement. If you are in a good financial place, consider supporting with a couple of extra dollars to go towards feeding someone who isn't as lucky. The more we can share our resources and talents to help take care of each other, the stronger the entire community will be.

Thanksgiving meals serve 1 and are ready to heat.

They include:

• Herb Roasted Turkey or Glazed Ham

• Caramelized Onion & Leek Mashed Potatoes

• Macaroni & Cheese OR Cornbread Sausage Stuffing

• Cabernet Cranberry Sauce

• Dessert

The suggested donation price is $25. Whether it is $0 or $1000 - please enter that information under the "Pay What You Can Afford" option below. There will also be an option to "Pay it Forward" and purchase the meal for someone else. Meals will be available for pickup and delivery in Chicagoland on 11/26. Orders must be completed by 11/22 at 11:59pm. Go here to order or donate a meal: https://pci.jotform.com/form/253057098977170
