Thanksgiving Dinner in a Box
About The Program
Each year, we come together for our “Thanksgiving Dinner In A Box” community program! The Town of Frederick, Frederick High School Student Council, Carbon Valley Help Center, Rocky Mountain Christian Church, and the Weld County Food Bank partner each year to provide dinner to those in need. We aim to donate a complete “Thanksgiving Dinner in a Box” to at least one hundred families in the Carbon Valley.
2025 Program Update: Our list for this year’s Thanksgiving Dinner In A Box program is currently full. We are now working closely with our partners to serve all registered families. New submissions will be added to a waitlist, and while we’ll do our best to assist additional families, placement on the waitlist does not guarantee a Thanksgiving Dinner In A Box.
How can you help?
- Nominate a family in need
- Drop off specific food items from the list
- Please drop off items at the Administrative Services building at 311 Fifth St. by Wednesday, November 19, Monday - Friday between 8 am and 5 pm.
- Donate money for pumpkin pies, butter, and rolls
