New Hope Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway, Community Dinner Hopes to Feed 5,000 Newark Residents

Newark

The New Hope Baptist Church along with several of our community partners will be hosting our annual Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway and Community Dinner.

They recognize that times are extremely challenging this year especially due to COVID and want to make sure those who are in need have a Thanksgiving meal whether they prepare it themselves or have it cooked for them.

Their goal is to feed 5,000 individuals while complying with CDC guidelines. Therefore, to maximize the number of people served with limited time, New Hope & Friends will be feeding and/or distributing baskets at the following locations:

The New Hope Baptist Church

New Hope Village

CityPlex 12 Parking Lot

Green Room Cigar Lounge

Lighthouse Assembly of God

First Timothy Baptist Church

New St. James Baptist Church

Grace Temple Baptist Church

Lincoln Park

Hot meals will be grab-and-go on Thanksgiving Day, November 26 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Basket Giveaway date will be announced at a later time. Anyone in need of a basket should call 973-622-4547 anytime on Tuesday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Volunteers are always welcomed, and food donations are greatly appreciated.
