Each year, Open Doors provides Thanksgiving meals to more than 350 families in Westfield. These families are given canned items as well as fresh produce, turkeys, pies, milk and other items so they can prepare a meal at home with their families. In order to be successful, Open Doors counts on donations from the community. The City of Westfield, Wittler Orthodontics, LeAnne Zentz ERA Real Estate, Rotary Club and Lions Club are just a few of its supporters.
Items needed include:
535 cans of cream of chicken soup
500 cans of cream of mushroom soup
300 paper towel rolls
400 cans of sliced peaches (14 oz.)
400 cans of cranberry sauce (14 oz.)
350 pineapples
200 15 oz. bags/cans of peas
530 boxes of stuffing mix (6 oz.) – Wittler Ortho will donate 200.
240 turkey roasting bags – Westfield Washington Schools will donate 120.
Anyone interested in donating all or parts of items listed is asked to contact Carrie Larrison at [email protected]. Donation checks (made payable to Open Doors, with “Thanksgiving” written in the memo section) or Kroger gift cards also are appreciated.
