MISSION
Our mission is to provide a Thanksgiving basket to struggling families within the Chicagoland to bring a sense of hope, knowing that someone within their community cares about them. We’ve created this charity with the purpose of bringing together people who recognize the beauty of viewing the world as we do – and who share a desire to help others – knowing that the gift is in the giving.

Can you help us get Thanksgiving dinner to 100 more families by sharing this post with your Facebook friends? Just $50 can provide a Thanksgiving meal for a family of 5! Please consider supporting the Thanksgiving Basket Brigade by making a monetary donation that will provide grocery store gift cards to Chicago families in need. Every dollar counts.

Happy Autumn!
We have received so many inquiries about the Chicago Basket Brigade for this year.
With the current climate in Chicago, we will be going with a COVID-19 safe plan to allow us (you, our great volunteers and contributors) to continue to serve our community during this challenging time. Please join us in donating to serve those who really need our help.
Your donation will be used to purchase gift cards from local grocery stores. Each gift card will be for $50 to feed a family of 5 on Thanksgiving Day. Monetary donations are the most efficient way to help and the most needed. Please go to our website www.chicagobasketbrigade.org and click on the donate button, it is that simple.
Thank you for your continued support and supporting this mission!
Next year we intend to be back creating baskets and delivering to families once again.

We Need Sponsors!
With only 18 days to go before our basket-filling event, we still need a lot more funds to be able to put food in our baskets to deliver to families in need. Please tell your friends, family and co-workers to join you in sponsoring families! www.chicagobasketbrigade.org
Another great way to support is to get businesses/organizations to join in donating ~ businesses you own, work for or visit. Business Sponsorships start with sponsoring 100 families! Please PM us here or email us at [email protected] if you know of a business who would like to be a sponsor! Thank you!
Thank you to 3 of this year's sponsors!
