Give Financially
Not everyone can shop or drop off groceries—but your financial gift makes the same powerful impact.
Each Thanksgiving food bag costs about $25 to prepare, and every dollar goes toward purchasing food and supplies specifically for our Pop-Up Pantry and Thanksgiving outreach.
You’re not just giving money—you’re giving hope, joy, and a place at the table.

Volunteer & Advocate
The Thanksgiving Food Drive is a community effort, and there’s always room for more helping hands! You can serve by helping sort and pack food, load cars at our Pop-Up Pantry, or distribute Thanksgiving bags to families in need. It’s a tangible, joy-filled way to see hope in action and connect with those we serve.
If you can’t volunteer in person, you can still make a big impact by inviting others or organize a mini food collection at your workplace or school.
This year, the need is greater than ever before!
This November, our Thanksgiving Food Drive will serve as a lifeline for hundreds of families across our community. Our November Pop-Up Food Pantry is always the biggest pantry of the year, and we expect to serve 400 families or more with both our regular groceries and special Thanksgiving bags filled with extra holiday items.
Each bag helps ensure that families can gather around a table with hope, dignity, and joy—something everyone deserves.
We can't do it without you!
What's Happening
The need in our community is greater than ever. Over the past year, many families have lost access to expanded SNAP (food assistance) benefits, and local food resources have been stretched thin. Rising food prices and reduced aid have left many households struggling to keep their pantries full.
At Radiant, we’re seeing the impact firsthand. Every month, our Pop-Up Food Pantry faithfully serves 320+ families, and the number continues to grow.
The Thanksgiving season brings even more requests for help—families who not only need food but hope and encouragement.
Your generosity helps bridge the gap where government programs and other resources fall short.
Why It Matters
We believe no family should have to choose between paying a bill and sharing a meal. Together, we can make sure hundreds of families experience not just provision, but the love and hope this Thanksgiving season.
Give thanks by giving back.
