Thank you for providing Thanksgiving meals

Thanks to the support of our generous community 453 client families received Thanksgiving meal packages full of ingredients and either a turkey or a gift card for a complete holiday meal. We are so thankful to our partners who made this happen! Without our caring volunteers and the fantastic support we receive from the community, there is no way this could have been achieved. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank You, Jacobs & Partner Contractors!

Jacobs designed and is managing construction of the FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies site here in Holly Springs. They organized their partner contractors listed below to donate funding so that we were able to purchase gift cards for 350 clients at Thanksgiving. These gift cards could be used to purchase the client’s main course choice for their holiday meal.

Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston Holly Springs Office blessed Cupboard clients with 100 frozen turkeys. We are so grateful for the continued support throughout the years!

Thank you, Mercalis employees, who dropped off a huge number of bags brimming with ingredients for Thanksgiving meals for clients. Many thanks to Amber Maldonado, Amanda Chandler, & Bo Moran for helping unload all of these boxes today as well as Sini Abraham for putting this all together! 

Thanks to the Holly Springs Rotary Club and Holly Springs Fire Department, Thanksgiving meals were delivered to clients who were unable to drive to the Cupboard.

In total, 57 Thanksgiving meal boxes were delivered, and we are so thankful to each and every driver who volunteered their time to help.

Check out this fantastic haul from the AOL Den in Pack 320 from Fuquay-Varina! They worked so hard on their food drive and it really shows! Thank you!

These Heidelberg Materials North America (the Holly Springs Division) employees dropped off an amazing load of much needed nonperishable food. Thank you!

Thank you to the neighbors at Windward Pointe subdivision for dropping off non-perishable donations! We appreciate you!

So many amazing folks dropped off donations leading up to Thanksgiving, and we can't thank you enough for helping keep our shelves full during this season of giving.

Liz Bissonnette and Honeycutt Farms neighbors dropped off Thanksgiving Meal boxes to share with the community. Thank you for organizing this within your community!

CrossFit HSP dropped off Thanksgiving Meal boxes to be distributed among clients - and then squatted, lifted, and lunged their way back to their vehicles. We appreciate you ladies for doing the heavy lifting for our community!

These big helpers from the TAC Titans team delivered nonperishable donations to the Cupboard. Many thanks to the Triangle Aquatic Center for hosting a food drive!

We are so grateful to Cary Alliance Church for supporting the Cupboard during our highest time of need!

We are so thankful for these cadets and their hard work in collecting donations

CrossFit Contrivance families, thank you so much for your help brightening Thanksgiving for clients with food donations and boxes of meal ingredients.

Kimberly Macenko and her Triumph Pickleball group recently held their first annual Ting Fling Tournament (with over 200 players) that benefited the Cupboard by asking for non-perishable donations. Thank you for the donations and for raising awareness about food insecurity!

Thank you, Sunset Ridge South neighborhood, with support from Bombshell Beer Company, for putting on a really fun event to benefit our organization! Each year several sponsors get together and donate drinks, bounces, and bubble fun in exchange for a donation to the Cupboard. We are grateful for each volunteer, vendor, and attendee who helped to bring in non-perishables and diapers. 

We continue to be very grateful for contractors working with Jacobs. These teams have been donating monthly to our organization to help keep much-needed food on our shelves. Thank you very much for your continued support!

This fabulous group from CSL Seqirus helped put a shine back in the Cupboard! They painted, cleaned, raked leaves, and spread gravel that they had donated from Daniels Supply. They brought all the supplies with them (paint and painting supplies) along with nonperishable foods donations! Thank you so much - our building and grounds look amazing for the upcoming holidays!

Thank you to Holly Grove Middle School National Junior Honor Society and Carissa Smith an outstanding food drive!

Cupboard Garden Activity

This group of moms and sons from the West Wake Young Mens Service League finished off the last garden work day of 2023. On a warm and sunny day, they watered beds, pulled some weeds, washed pots, potted rosemary, and put in 120 garlic cloves and more. Well done!
