The West Orange Foundation is partnering with other community organizations for the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.

The foundation will come together with the West Orange Chamber of Commerce, members, and other organizations to help collect funds for local families in need so that they can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.

In 2020, the foundation collected over $5400 and supported 108 families, 406 people, through the Maxey, Pine Hills and Lila Mitchell Centers.

The foundation will continue to collect donations and share them with families once again through the centers for the Christmas holiday season.

Donations can be made through PayPal using a secure QR code found here, or at committee meetings, networking groups and other Chamber events.
