At COA, we believe everyone deserves a joyful Thanksgiving meal,
and we’re here to make that possible.
Many in our community may not have the resources for a full Thanksgiving celebration,
and we’re here to change that. Through our Thanksgiving Baskets, Feast,
and Blessing Bags, we ensure that everyone can experience the warmth of a holiday meal.
