BUILD A BOX

Providing Thanksgiving meals to thousands of disadvantaged families in the Bay Area since 1987.

Our MISSION

Please help us assure that families in our area do not go without a Thanksgiving meal. On the Monday before Thanksgiving, we assemble and deliver boxes full of the ingredients necessary for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Our goal is to deliver 500 boxes to less fortunate families in the Bay Area. This will feed close to 4,000 people this day!

our story

HOW IT STARTED

In 1987, realtor Art Scott gifted 3 boxes to his neighbors who were going to go without a Thanksgiving meal. It included everything necessary to prepare the perfect Thanksgiving meal [with leftovers!].

HOW IT'S GOING

Build-a-box is a federally recognized non-profit organization that feeds 600 families across the San Francisco Bay Area for Thanksgiving yearly!

OUR EVENT
The Monday before every Thanksgiving is when we assemble donations at Lucky's in Los Altos for families and load up cars for delivery to homes, churches and community centers. Want to volunteer (assemble and/or drive)? Submit here!
