Help With Cheyenne Thanksgiving
6th Annual Cheyenne Thanksgiving
Food costs hit hardest at the holidays. Too many families choose between rent and Thanksgiving dinner. We take that choice away.
Join us for the 6th Annual Cheyenne Thanksgiving, presented by RUNT, on Sunday, November 22, at The Railspur. This year our goal is 400 families, each receiving a complete Thanksgiving meal, free, with home delivery for anyone who can’t get out.
Cheyenne Thanksgiving started in 2021 with 57 meal boxes. Last year, 353 families sat down to Thanksgiving dinner because this community showed up as sponsors, donors and volunteers. Every $100 provides one family’s complete meal. Every volunteer hour gets it to their table.
