Today my dad was changing Carl’s car battery as I watched and learned. Erin was playing with the dog in the snow in the front yard. An unfamiliar car pulled in the driveway, and a nice family came out bearing a large cardboard box. They gave it to me, wished me a happy Thanksgiving and left. In the box is a complete Thanksgiving dinner courtesy of Basket Brigade of Suburban Chicago. Carl had been wanting to support this charity as a family, and never would we have thought we’d be recipients of the kindness they bestow each Thanksgiving. We are humbled and grateful. If you are looking for local organizations to support, please consider these fine folks. Find them on Facebook and www.basketbrigade.net. ❤️
Great volunteer event today! What a great way to kick off the holiday season for both the volunteers and recipients!

Just an Incredible experience on Saturday with the Basket Brigade of Suburban Chicago. They prepared for months and it showed. Countless families will receive much needed Thanksgiving meals thanks to all of these volunteers and countless others who delivered. It was a thrill to be able to surprise people at their door. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

My dad received an amazing meal basket today!! He and I want to thank you for your charity and good cause. Such a wonderful organization!!! Also, is there any way for us to find out who nominated him for a meal? I checked the website, but I didn’t see anything of that nature. He would love to know who sent this to him so that he could thank them. He thinks it’s someone from his church, but he’s not entirely sure. I completely understand if this is supposed to be an anonymous service, but my dad would really like to thank the person who nominated him. Thanks so much!!

THANK YOU!! Saturday I received a surprise carton full of Thanksgiving goodies !! My daughter was in from NJ so we had our Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday. Our family was truly blesses to have received that gift !! Being retired and on Social Security it isn’t easy to accommodate the holidays. Thanks to you we accomplished a great holiday before she headed home on Monday night. My husband passed away the day after Thanksgiving last year, so we still set a place at the table for him, too 🙂 My heartfelt Thanks to all of you for such a wonderful gift!!! And I forgot to add that my favorite part of the box was the turkey picture colored by a child !! It went right on the fridge!!!!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the Basket Brigade! The family I nominated was SO incredibly touched and grateful! From the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU!
Hi Thank you so much. I received a thanksgiving dinner 5 minutes ago. This means a lot to me. U r so special helping people . I hope you and all your little helpers have a wonderful thanksgiving.
I have known such need…the very need you are providing for families this Thanksgiving. Thank you for coming alongside your fellow man and bearing their burden…lightening their load…bringing joy. You are truly honoring both God and your Mom. I am honored to know you and to see you pass down her legacy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I’m not sure why or who, but today’s donation was totally unexpected and the biggest surprise I’ve ever received. I recently underwent Spinal Fusion Surgery L4/L5. If you know of anyone who has undergone this procedure, you know that mobility is almost non-existent. I don’t expect to get out (shopping) for at least another month and it’s already been four weeks. This package arrived with perfect timing and is so appreciated.
