About the event

No Empty Plates 2026


Households will be selected only after enough funds have been raised. The number of households selected depends on the funds and food secured. A nomination is not a reservation or pickup confirmation.


Help make this community effort possible: like and share Porchlight's campaign posts so more friends and neighbors can support the fundraiser.


Help a neighbor celebrate Thanksgiving at home. Porchlight brings together food, funding, and volunteers to prepare meal ingredients for local households, with attention to food allergies and dietary restrictions.


A completed nomination is required for your own household or another household. Incomplete nominations will not be processed. Submission does not guarantee groceries. Selected households must accept and receive pickup confirmation before arriving. No walk-ins.
