The mission of this event is to bless our neighbors in the Westerville City School District in need with a bountiful Thanksgiving meal for their family. Thanksgiving Blessing is made possible each year with the help of our champions who assemble meal bags. Bags cost approximately $25 to fill each year! Donors are supplied with a list of needed items and asked to deliver those items to our facility for distribution to needy families. In addition, financial donations are always welcome.

WARM had another very successful Thanksgiving Blessing Day event in 2022. With the help of staff and 123 dedicated volunteers, families were provided all the components for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. We could not have set a new record this year without the help of the community, all of our donors, and the volunteers who stuck it out in the cold and wind to make it all happen! Thank you for another GREAT event!
