Primetime585 Thanksgiving Adopt a Family; History- this is year 4 of our Adopt a Family. We’ve fed 9,870 people including 2,655 children over the last three thanksgiving. We’ve partnered with schools, social workers and agencies to provide a healthy thanksgiving meal each year. The uniqueness of this program is the matching of families. We will match a family who wants to be adopted to a team, program and family who will shop and deliver a full Thanksgiving meal. The goal is positive interaction between students, athletes and families. Last year, 86 Section 5 teams adopted families and 71 delivered it to their adopted families. This teaches our kids the importance of giving back. We prefer the process of adopting and delivering but if a person or team is unable we will do the shopping and delivering for you. We ask that you utilize the list posted as a shopping guide. You can donate $75 per family of 4 for a complete meal including desserts and drinks.
