Thanksgiving

​

Each Thanksgiving, thanks to the help from the community donations of food, market gift certificates and services, Hope 7 provides families through our food pantry with full Thanksgiving meals. Each box includes bread, produce, pies, rolls, a gift card for a turkey and perishables along with all the sides. In 2025, Hope 7 served 97 families with Thanksgiving baskets to share with their families.

Christmas Gift Adoption Program

​

A long standing tradition, Hope 7 works diligently to match families in need of holiday gift assistance with generous donors. Families who have indicated a need are given forms to fill out with information on the needs and wishes of the children, as well as preferences such as favorite colors, characters, etc. Emphasis is placed first on warm winter clothing and bedding, then toys, games and other leisure items the children are hoping for. It is strictly up to the sponsor to decide what is to be purchased. For 2025, 412 children were assisted through our adoption program.

​

We do all we can to ensure a smooth, orderly process to provide a positive, fun and most importantly, rewarding experience for you as the sponsor and a stress free holiday season for families who are need of this assistance. We have sponsors who return to our program year after year after having a positive, fun experience with our program!

​

It's a rewarding experience to do alone or as a group. Get a group of family, friends, coworkers, club members or do it on your own to have a great time shopping for gifts that will make a child's eyes light up on Christmas morning!

​

When to sign up!

​

Hope 7 begins their process in October and asks that a commitment is made by early November. This way, there is less pressure on you as the sponsor and if you plan to do Black Friday shopping, you'll have your family's wish list. This also helps prevent families from being left hanging into December, worrying about whether or not they have been sponsored.
