November 1 The Osprey Connection

As Thanksgiving approaches, we invite our Osprey Families to join us in giving back to our community! Our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive will run from November 1–16, collecting nonperishable food items to help local families enjoy a warm and memorable Thanksgiving meal. Donations of items such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, canned vegetables, rice, beans, gravy, and baking mixes are greatly appreciated. Together, we can make a difference and help bring warmth, gratitude, and holiday cheer to families in our community. Thank you for your generosity and support!
