Thanksgiving Baskets
Each year, low-income families receive food and grocery gift certificates that allow them to enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving. The community generously donates the food and gift certificates to the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center to be distributed to families in need.
My family needs some food for Thanksgiving. What should I do?
Call the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center, (913) 897-3991, as soon as possible, to learn whether your family is eligible. It is a good idea to contact the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center by the beginning of November to ensure participation in the program. You will need proof of income, proof of residency, and Social Security cards.
I would like to help. What should I do?
Donations of food, food baskets, and gift certificates are always welcome. You may also “sponsor” a family for Thanksgiving. Call the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center for full details.
Christmas SponsorshipsThe Blue Valley Multi-Service Center works with community volunteers to help Blue Valley families in need enjoy a memorable Christmas. Blue Valley Multi-Service Center coordinates an anonymous sponsorship program, matching families in need with individuals, families, groups, and organizations wishing to provide Christmas gifts and Christmas dinner to those less fortunate.
Am I eligible for Christmas assistance?
In order to be sponsored for Christmas, you must:
1. Live in the Blue Valley School District
2. Meet the income guidelines
3. Provide social security cards for everyone in the household
4. Not apply or receive assistance from any other agency for Christmas
Contact the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center to register and complete a wish list for each family member. It is a good idea to contact the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center by the beginning of December to register for the program. Every family that needs assistance will receive a grocery gift card, non-perishable food, and at least one gift for each family member.
How do I sponsor a family?
Contact the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center as early as possible to be registered as a donor. Every effort will be made to match you or your organization with the family of your preference while keeping identifiable information confidential. You will be given a wish list for each family. As a donor, you have the pleasure of providing at least one gift per family member, non-perishable food, and a grocery gift certificate. All items are delivered to the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center, and the sponsored families pick them up here. For further details, please call the Blue Valley Multi-Service Center, (913) 897-3991.
