From neighbor Tricia Dooley: This year, instead of our traditional Fall Food Drive, we’re shaking things up a bit! We’ll be collecting Blessing Baskets to support Reach St. Pete and help local families in need.

Each Blessing Basket will include all the non-perishable items for a Thanksgiving meal, plus a $15 (or more) gift card so families can purchase the protein of their choice.

We know this is a slightly bigger ask than in years past, so as a thank you for your generosity, we’re hosting a Porch Party with chili, sides, and good company!

We’ve also partnered with local businesses for some great raffle prizes, and we’re excited to welcome Alexia Perry Morrison, founder of Reach St. Pete, who will share more about the amazing work they do in our community.

Stay tuned for more details — we can’t wait to come together for such a meaningful cause!
