Thanksgiving Information
"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our Thanksgiving."
W.T. Purkiser
The annual CCHASM Thanksgiving Meal Program has been around for years serving our neighbors in need.
Here is a time-lapse video showing the donations, assembly, and collaboration at the County Fairgrounds.
For Thanksgiving 2021, CCHASM assisted adults and children in Chesterfield County, Colonial Heights, Dinwiddie, Hopewell, Petersburg, and Prince George.
Your generous donations helped us reach our goal! We assisted 3,100 families -- nearly 8,600 individuals -- with a Thanksgiving Meal Gift Package and a $15 gift card for perishable items such as butter, fresh vegetables, and a turkey.
Here are video clips to learn more about the annual Thanksgiving Meal Program.
