One of the elements of the Food Security Program that is most cherished and appreciated by clients is the Thanksgiving Food Basket. With substantial community support, CdP has been able to distribute a basket with a turkey, stuffing, vegetables and pie to client families. “Turkey Drives” are conducted across the community, and we have been successful in organizing the donation of over 1,000 turkeys.

In 2016, Casa de Peregrinos joined with the La Casa domestic violence program and Calvary Baptist Church, which also provide a Thanksgiving meal or food basket for clients in order to streamline the process of soliciting and distributing meals.
