Individuals and families living in Broome County will have the opportunity to sign-up for a Thanksgiving basket. Baskets will include all the items needed for a wonderful holiday meal. Sign-ups for baskets will begin on September 8th and go through October 17th, 2025, or until the limited number of baskets has been reached, whichever occurs first. Sign-ups will be held by calling the United Way 211 phone number (dial 2-1-1 or call 1-800-901-2180) Monday-Friday 9:30AM to 3:30PM. All families who sign up for a basket will receive a reminder text message, phone call or mailed document 1 to 2 weeks prior to Thanksgiving Day. This will provide information on the date, time and location of the basket pick up. Families should expect to pick up their baskets the weekend of November 22rd to November 23rd. The Thanksgiving basket coordination program is a joint effort between Catholic Charities, United Way 211, local parishes, iHeart Media and several other local contributing businesses. For additional information or if you are interested in how you can help please contact Tracie Layton at Catholic Charities of Broome County at 729-9166.
