Thanksgiving 2025

Join Phoenix Rescue Mission this Thanksgiving and make a difference in the lives of our neighbors in need across the Valley! 

Every year, caring friends across the Valley help us raise critical food, hygiene items, and funds through drives at their businesses, churches, or other community groups, making Thanksgiving possible for so many struggling families. Partnering with us is a great way to serve neighbors in our community, and to introduce the Mission’s life-transforming work to new audiences. 

Events:

Here is how YOU’RE invited to help:  

As we work to serve our neighbors, we have a need for turkeys, food items and hygiene products.  Join us either individually, through your workplace, church or organization and make an impact in the lives of men, women, and children. You can help in the following ways: 

  1. Thanksgiving Fill- A- Bag: We will need approx. 500 Thanksgiving-specific Fill-A-Bags by Wednesday, November 19th, for our Thanksgiving Distribution on Saturday, November 22nd. We are serving families with an average of 5-8 people. Feel free to include fun holiday-themed plates, tablecloths and napkins! 
  2. General Food Drive:  We need your help collecting nonperishable food this holiday season. During the holidays we see an increase in the number of families needing support, your generosity ensures families across the Valley won’t go without.  
  3. Hygiene Drive:  We are thrilled to include hygiene/household cleaning bags in our drive again this year! These are things that we are able to bless families with this holiday season, and all year long!
  4. Give a Thanksgiving Meal: A warm Thanksgiving meal can be the turning point for someone in crisis. Your gift offers food, dignity, and a first step in a path toward healing.
