Project Thanksgiving 2025 Thanks
​​Project Thanksgiving is grateful for YOU.
To all who volunteered for Project Thanksgiving and Project Pennies for Pies: we extend our deepest gratitude. Dozens of volunteers supported every stage of the project, from food collection and sorting to meal kit assembly and distribution. The community's generosity of funding, time, and spirit were overwhelming.
To the schools in MASD that raised funds and collected food donations, your efforts made a big impact. We also thank several local businesses who supported the project through fundraising and food collection:
--H2L Fitness Studio
--Susquehanna Federal Credit Union
--Sylvan Learning Center
--UPMC Fisher Road
A special thank you to Upper Allen Fire Department for organizing a magnificently successful food drive to benefit Project Thanksgiving. We also extend our gratitude to Hillandale Farms - Gettysburg for donating a dozen fresh eggs to each family, and to Paulus Farms for contributing to the cost of holiday pies and fresh turkeys. Operation Wildcat could not meaningfully support District families without the cooperation and assistance of MASD leadership and staff; particularly those at Mechanicsburg Middle School where this project takes place.
Thank you all for making this Thanksgiving season truly special for all!
