We are collecting for Harvest Friendsgiving Rainbow Meal Bags with Hugh Lane

Help us gather some much needed meal items for our friends at Hugh Lane Wellness.

From Monday, November 18th through Saturday the 30th we will have donation boxes located in our Apothecary/Tea Sanctuary.

This is an annual Fall activity where an amazing crew of volunteers come together to deliver customizable bags of all the fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner to community members to be enjoyed with their chosen family.

Each bag includes a main dish, side dishes, a dessert, and some extras. The Harvest Friendsgiving Rainbow Meal Bags offers several options for each bag. This gives the community member the ability to individualize their bag based on their likes, dislikes and dietary needs.

Last year between pick-ups and drop-offs, Hugh Lane handed out over 350 bags to community members and had 68 volunteers help with 44 routes of bags to be delivered. Those routes covered 900 miles all over Western Pennsylvania.

Holiday Rainbow Meal Bags is part of their Holidays with Hugh programming which includes Giving Tuesday, Winter Wonderland (for youth and families), Noellsworth (a 21+ Holiday Happy Hour), and a Holiday Wish Tree for youth in congregant/foster care.
