Donations can be dropped off at the Paramedic trailer parked outside of Redner’s on November 6th, or donations can be dropped off at the Kent County Administrative Complex, 555 Bay Road in Dover, October 17th – November 4th. 

The following items are needed: canned vegetables, cranberry sauce, evaporated milk, canned pumpkin, canned fruit, juice, corn muffin mix, mashed potatoes, gravy or any other non-perishable item that will ensure a good Thanksgiving meal for a needy family.

Let’s come together as a community to make this holiday season brighter for everyone.
