Atlanta Inner-City Ministry is preparing Thanksgiving meals with help from local partners.
Through Thanksgiving In A Box, churches, businesses and families fill boxes with holiday groceries. AIM adds the turkeys, with pickup scheduled for Monday, November 23, from 2 to 5 p.m. at its food pantry.
The organization lists a collection period running through November 16 for partners assembling the boxes. Its checklist includes vegetables, stuffing, cranberry sauce, cornbread and other meal ingredients.
Families seeking a meal should contact AIM about availability and the pickup process. A household’s reservation should be confirmed directly with the organization.
AIM’s holiday work also extends into December. Its Hope For The Family event is scheduled for December 12 and combines a day of parent and caregiver programming with Christmas gifts for children ages 2–12.
The organization’s posted in-person application dates were October 3 and 4, and the event page says no walk-ins are permitted on program day. Families should contact AIM about their situation and any remaining options.
Supporters have a separate way to get involved. AIM invites partners and volunteers to help provide gifts for participating families.
The two programs connect holiday food support with a longer season of family assistance. Readers who need help can ask about current availability, while businesses and community groups can ask where donations or volunteer time are most useful.
