Give Thanks Give Relief 2025
Help us meet our goal
With food costs rising and communities recovering from devastating hurricanes, more families are in need of support. This year, the GrassROOTS Community Foundation is expanding its annual Turkey Challenge to include hurricane relief for families in St. James and St. Mary, Jamaica, in addition to our ongoing efforts in New Jersey.
Together, we aim to raise $60,000 to provide food assistance and deliver essential supplies—including underwear, bras, menstrual products, and school supplies—directly to trusted local partners supporting girls, women, and families.
