Thanksgiving Heroes

 Our vision is a picture of Thanksgiving filled with laughter and joy, where every American family, no matter their financial situation, comes together to enjoy a delicious meal and bask in the warmth of gratitude.

Thanksgiving Heroes, a national nonprofit, has a straightforward mission: to gather countless volunteers in cities across the U.S., uniting their efforts to provide full Thanksgiving meals to families in need.


Imagine the joy of a warm holiday meal! For many struggling to make ends meet, the idea of providing a Thanksgiving feast for their family seems impossible.

Thanksgiving Heroes’ founder, Rob Adams, knows this struggle firsthand. Growing up, his family couldn’t afford Thanksgiving dinner, but generous friends saved the day with heartfelt meals.

Inspired by this kindness, Rob started Thanksgiving Heroes in Utah. Now, we empower “Thanksgiving Heroes” nationwide to deliver full Thanksgiving meals to families in need.

Our dinners, complete with turkey and all the trimmings, feed a family of five for a week. Join us in spreading hope, gratitude, and the goodness of humanity by ensuring no American family goes hungry on Thanksgiving!

“We received our gift from you today. Thank you so much! As I’ve been out of a full-time job for 8 months, this feels like a huge blessing! Our family of 5 really appreciate this.”

Mr. Drawe

In their own words:


 “I have a family of nine and Thanksgiving Heroes has really helped me this year because I’ve been struggling with money, finances. And I was wondering how we were even gonna be able to afford Thanksgiving dinner. And they really helped us out with that. We got a box of food and now we’re able to have a really nice and good Thanksgiving dinner. So, thank you very much for that.”
