The Thanksgiving Project

More than 1 in 5 Massachusetts families with children experiences food insecurity. For 25 years, United Way of Massachusetts Bay’s Thanksgiving Project has supported families who must choose between putting food on their tables or paying their bills. The Thanksgiving Project includes donation drives for essential supplies, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities throughout the year, because need knows no season.

Past Events
We host events throughout the year to unite the doers. Some are one time events and others we celebrate every year!

June 18, 2025 | Day of Gratitude

Last summer, we launched our first Day of Gratitude, delivering 1,000 personal hygiene kits to individuals facing housing insecurity. This summer, we built on that effort by assembling 2,500 snack packs for children and youth enrolled in United Way partner programs across six Boston neighborhoods. These packs were distributed through 11 local agency partners reaching kids from low- to moderate-income families who struggle to access healthy snacks when school is out and costs are high.
